Me too!

There must be an alternative (short of larceny) to the current prices
I see for the Mac's RGB.  The cheapest I have come across thru basic
pricing is $500 for a Magnavox or NEC xSync.

As we all know, any product destined to connected to a Mac (a virtue?)
is priced higher (discl: it seems to me) than the comparable piece of
equipment to be connected to one of those Blue machines.  

Does anyone know of an RGB monitor that would match the Vert retrace
rate (and whatever else needs to match) of the signal coming out of 
the Apple RGB/greyscale card?

Any suggestions or leds of where we may look would be appreciated
