What about long-persistence monitors?  I've been using a KV1311 for two
years now with my A1000, and am upgrading to the A2000 with buyback, so
I'll have a use for two monitors.  I could buy another KV1311, but I'd
like to get a long-persistence monitor if I can get one in the same
price class as the Sony (i.e. $500 or so -- the Sony is now $388 at
Fry's in Sunnyvale, similar prices advertised in various mail-order
ads).

What such monitors, if any, are available?  Has the Commodore unit
ever come out, and if so, at what price?

Apologies if this has been discussed to death already, I've been off
the net for quite a while and haven't seen it.  If so, would someone
please E-mail a summary to me instead.
