Ok, here's feedback:
I use a Sony KX-14CP1 monitor and to summarize its behaviour: GREAT.
Although I'm not sure the monitor is obtainable in the USA (or maybe under
a different 'label'), I think it's well worth looking into, because it simply
is a jewel of a monitor.

The facts:


  -  Black Trinitron tube (high contrast)
  -  Resolution: manual doesn't say, but more than the ST can give for sure!
  -  Scart input for RGB signal (analog)
  -  Video input
  -  RGB TTL input (for PC [?])
  -  Audio output (mono)

  Costs: about $700

  {I have no connection to Sony whatsoever, except -ofcourse- being a
  customer}
