I have a Nutmeg portrait display on my Plus at work.  It has a high-quality
Xerox display (shades of the Alto), and has 720X900 pixels.  The pixel size
is roughly 90DPI (a bit small, but if you want a LOT of pixels, ...).

It has a clamp that mounts on the 68000, and a daughter board that JUST fits.
The cable comes out of the old security port.

A 2K init is all it takes to install software wise.  It's called
"no frills"; their enhanced (multi-monitor) version is not too stable
w/multifinder, though.  I'm running 4MB, 6.0.2, and ~22 inits.  Very stable.

I got it from MacConnection for $999.

I like it.  The only problem is that big windows sometimes take longer to
update (you know, LOTS of pixels to update) - no free lunch.  I therefore
tend to use smaller windows when appropriate.
