I have a NEC Multisync monitor, and in my opinion, it is the ONLY monitor to
buy, no matter what board you buy.  Have a CGA, no problem.  EGA?  No problem.
IBM Professional Display Adapter? No problem!  It will work with every color
video board I have seen.  So, no matter what you buy now, this monitor should
be able to adapt to whatever nifty new board you may buy in a few years.

It has a beautiful picture when used with an EGA.  With a CGA, it looks as
bad as any other monitor :-).
