The TAXAN 770+ multiscan monitor (a little hard to find but worth the
effort) has an "overscan" switch (not to be confused with the Amiga's
overscan display mode) which allows the standard Amiga screen area to
fill the entire screen.  The monitor can be found for <$500 and has
consistently received very good reviews.  Were I to get a new monitor
(with or without a flicker fixer) I would get one of these, as it will
support the ECS modes.  But because of it's overscan switch, it is
especially nice to use with a Flicker Fixer.
