I bought a Taxan Crystalview 1901 for my Mac-II about 3 months
ago. Comes with a screen-glare filter (like a Polaroid), and
costs about $1800 (includes card). I bought it due to the recommendation
in the side bar of the MacUser magazine that tested large-screen monitors,
and said thatthis monitor had superb quality for a low price.

And they were quite right. Except for some game programs, and
other PD programs (which didn't work on my Apple Color Monitor
either), everything works perfect, including Moire, a screen-saver,
Pyro!, another screen saver, etc.,etc.

The picture quality is stunning. The characters are much crisper than
the characters on the Apple monitors---despite the 19'' size.
And, of course, the characters are much crisper than the characters
on Sun and Dec 19'' monitors. 

The worst thing about the monitor: Taxan doesn't promote it
very well. For those who can live with this fact, I would definitely
take a look at it. For my part: I am unhappy with the Mac-II, but
extremely happy with this display system.
