  I might have the opportunity to purchase a LaserView Mac II display card
(made by a company called Sigma Designs) for relatively small sum.  The only
problem is that its just the display card, NO MONITOR.  I'd love to have 1664 x
1200 (120 dpi) 19-inch display on my Mac II but I'm not sure if my budget can
handle the price of a monitor that will work with this card.  In short, I'm
looking for the most economical (read cheapest) way to get a monitor that will
work with a LaserView Display card.  Any replies in the following categories
would be greatly appreciated!

  o  Anyone who has successfully connected a monitor OTHER than Sigma Designs'
     to their LaserView display card.  Specifically: where to purchase, how
     much, and how well does it work.  I've noticed that a few other big
     screen makers for the mac (MegaGraphics, Nutmeg?) use the same monitor
     as Sigma, so I was hoping that they might be available to end users.

  o  Anyone who has purchased a monitor ALONE (from Sigma) for the LaserView.
     I saw a price in an old MacUser review stating that the monitor cost
     $1400 but didn't mention whether you could buy it separately.

  o  Any comments on the LaserView display in general.

  Also, I have some fliers from Sigma Designs describing a monitor/display card
combination called the L-View.  Looking at the specs and comparing them to the
ones for the LaserView the two look identical.  Can anybody confirm this, or
has anyone connected the "L-View" monitor the a "LaserView" display card?


Thanks in advance!
