Is the Sony really that much better than the Commodore? In a word: YES. The recent Commodore multi-purpose monitors are very inexpensive. After all, Amiga 500's and Commodore 128's need monitors, too, and people who buy those computers can't afford spending hundreds of dollars more on a high quality monitor. But if you can afford a better monitor, get it. Interlace mode, in particular, is quite miserable on the Commodore monitor, even with the contrast as low as can be seen (it's decent on the older Amiga monitors, which also have an etched "bottle" so that you can't see your face reflecting off the screen). -- Eric Lee Green elg@usl.CSNET Snail Mail P.O.
