I'm thinking seriously about getting a NeXTdimension board
despite the (probably well-deserved) flames NeXT has gotten
for its handling of that board.

One question: I know on-board JPEG compression was promised but never
delivered.  Is there anything else that was omitted?  I heard that
support for closed-captioning isn't there; true or false?

Also, I'm wondering about what monitor to use.  I Will Not buy the 
(IMO rather pitifully bad) 17" Philips monitor NeXT OEMs.  The 21"
monitor is very nice, but at almost $3K educational it's quite pricey.

Y'all who have been in the same situation, what did you get?  Sony or NEC
17+" multisync monitors that can handle the NeXT's scan rate?

Thanks for any help,
Fredrik
