I have used a Zenith FTM with the RasterOps board.  The high contrast
and brightness of the FTM were great, but there is one drawback.  The
FTM is a 14" monitor, while the Apple is 13".  Both use the same number
of pixels (640 x 480).  That means that many bitmap fonts look poor on
the FTM because of the increased jaggies.

All in all, I liked the FTM but I don't think I would use it as the sole
monitor on my Mac.  As a second monitor (for presentation graphics etc..) I
think it's unbeatable.
