 Well, I have the Electrohome ECM 1310U Series Multi-Sync monitor and its
 great, works in all three resolutions, Low, Medium and High. It has VGA
 qualities so when the TT comes out I dont see any problems hooking it up. It
 has underscan built in the back and if I tie down line 4 in the RGB Cable
 I have instant Monochrome mode. In monochrome mode it looks great. Multi-Sync
 monitors are the wave of the future as I and many programmers have and will
 be writting programs and differenct Hrz rates. Eg(85 or 45).

 The picture definitely is better, this particular monitors resolution is
 720 by 540 lines. It has antiglare .31 mm dotpitch with many other
 built in fancy features. I run all european programs without any 
 problems. As for the price phone electrohome its only drawback is
 that it has no speaker but with the STE that isnt a problem. I hook
 mine up through the audio line to my ghettoblaster.
