I recently purchased a 2-page monochrome monitor called the MagicView 19. It retails for (you won't believe this price) $995 from MacProducts. That is both monitor and card. I purchased another one for a Mac II because I liked it so much. The screen is 1024x768 pixels, has a refresh rate of 78Hz, and is very readable even on the edges. While I was searching for the monitor, I also looked at Radius and SuperMac Technologies. Their monochrome monitors are simply overpriced although their displays are quite good. I also purchased a Taxan CrystalVue 19 monitor with a 30-day money back guarantee from MacZone. Thank God I have the money back guarantee. About 2 weeks after I bought it, the edges became much less readable and "ghosts" started developing near windows on gray desktops. I am about to send it back and buy another MagicView. (The Taxan costs $400 more.) The people at MacProducts are friendly and are willing to ship the monitor 2-day air for ~$35. If you are in the market for an SE/30 external monochrome monitor, I highly recommend the MagicView. It's cheaper than most 1 page displays. +----------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+ |There is a club if you would like to go. | Edan Kabatchnik | |You could meet somebody who really loves you. +-------------------------+ |So you go, and you stand on your own. | MIT | |And you leave on your own. | enk@wheaties.ai.mit.edu | |And you go home, and you cry, and you want to die. |Schlumberger Technologies| | - The Smiths | enk@slcs.slb.com | +----------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+
