We are using Sony CPD-1302's here with our Amigas (refuse to buy CBM monitors)
and are very pleased.  Currently one of the Amiga's has a filcker fixer, the
other two do not.  The 1302 works extremely well with all three.

I'm not positive, but I think the price was $459.00 ( don't have copies of the
PO's with me...)

The local CBM dealer made all the necessary cables, plus one for our 37"
Mitubishi monitor.  Note: we haven't used the Sony's with a Mac yet, but
did have the dealer make a cable for the Mitubishi and it works fine.
