I'm in the market for a color monitor for my Atari 800.  What
models are worth considering?  What is a realistic price range?

I own an Amdek Color I with one speaker and in the price range of
$250 to $300. This monitor is great for playing games on (which is
what you'll probably using an ATARI for anyway) but text is not
extremely clear on this monitor. For word processing capabilities
I'd recommend an amber or green screen monitor costing from $100 to
$200 generally. One word of warning. Before you spend ANY more money
on your ATARI, wait and see what the company does. You may well want
to sell your computer for an apple or a commodore 64. Atari's support
for their computer(s), both in hardware and software, has been
TERRIBLE!!! I would sell my machine today but I couldn't get a
good price for it based on the current low prices of ATARI computers.
Warner Communications, who has owned ATARI since it's start, recently
"got rid of" it's personal computer subsidiary and we don't know
what to expect. Just a word to the wise...
