Well I do not have any specs on a falcon 040 so I do not know if it
going to do a higher resolution than 640x480. If it does then a super-vga
monitor would be in order. However there are monitors that are multi-sync
that do not go down to ST-low/medium (15khz), but do cover VGA, XGA, and SVGA,
these cost around $150 -> $200 less than full-fledged multi-syncs.

I say look to the future. More resolution is GOOD. Besides clone owners
are dumping colour VGA monitors for around $100, making them the best deal.

You know all that upgradability does cost and with the glut of VGA monitors
on the used market, people basically have to give them away. Such a pity,
pay $400 -> $500 for a VGA monitor, and two years later its almost worthless,
to a clone owner that is. :)
