RGB is really expensive. I guess the 1902 is running at about $320 now.
I bought a mono-chrome monitor and a color composite. Now I can use the
color for the composite signal (or a TV signal - I've got it doubling as
a color TV for my room) and the mono-chrome for 80 column work. So far,
it's working out great. You can get a mono-chrome for about $80 and a
color composite for about $150. That's only $230 total and you've always
got a backup monitor!!! I think it beats the 1902 any day. Oh, yeah, you
can also use them simultaneously so you can watch graphics on the color
and type the commands on the mono-chrome.
