The best all-around monitor for the standard Amiga is NOT going to be
a multisync.  Why pay the two to three hundred extra dollars to support
exotic scan rates when the Amiga will only put out a standard 15KHz
horizontal, 60Hz vertical signal?  Get an ordinary high-quality analog
RGB monitor such as the Sony KV1311CR (now discontinued, but still 
available), or the Sony CDP1310.  With the money you save, you might
be able to add another meg or two of memory, which will serve you a
lot better.

Note:  if the promised de-interlacers show up, then a multisync
monitor will be a necessity.  Until then, though, they're not.
Also, there are a LOT of manufacturers out there with snazzy RGB
monitors that will work just fine with the Amiga.  I've seen Conracs,
Mitsubishis, Thomsons, Electrohomes, Hitachis, Zeniths, and several
more.  Shop around.
