  Does it auto-size?  One of the least-discussed requirements a VGA
places on a monitor is sizing, vertically, to handle the 350 (EGA emul),
400 (double-scan CGA and text) and 480 (Vga graphics) - so that the picture
fills the screen vertically at all 3 resolutions.  My Magnavox 8CM873
has sadly small EGA - it occupies the middle 350 of 480 possible lines,
and the height control is a small recessed pot in the back.  This is NOT
a good VGA monitor, therefore.
