Greetings,

SuperMac Technology sells two monitors types for the Mac II, four 19" monitors
with a resolution of 1024 x 768 @ 72/73 dpi and one 16" monitor with a
resolution of 1024 x 768 @ 89 dpi.  Most people prefer the 19" monitors because
of the WYSIWYG display of 72/73 dpi, but there are some who like the 16"
Trinitron because it doesn't take up as much real estate as the 19" Trinitron
does.  Of the five monitors (19" Trinitron, 19" Ikegami Color, 19" Ikegami Grey
Scale, 19" Ikegami Monochorme, and 16" Trinitron), only the 19" Ikegami
Monochrome monitor doesn't use the Spectrum/8 video card, instead it uses the
SuperView II video card.  All of the others (color and grey scale) use the
Spectrum/8 video card.

Usually, it comes down to a personal prefence.  If you are used to the regular
9" Mac Plus/SE screen, then consider a monitor which is 72/73 dpi.  However,
depending upon your needs (ie display two pages side by side in actual size), a
19" monitor at 72/73 dpi cannot do this...at actual size.  Radius for example
sells a 19" monitor that allows you to display two pages, but it image isn't
72/73 dpi...technically it is still WYSIWYG, but it isn't 72/73 dpi.

My personal recommendation would be to go to your dealer and/or trade show and
take a look at the monitor(s) you're considering and make an informed decision.
Plus it wouldn't hurt to give the Spectrum/8-19" Trinitron consideration.
