	An unbiased note :-): I have a Radius DC/GX that I use with the
Apple 12-inch monochrome monitor (which is basically the same as the
13-inch color, except that it's not color). It's beautiful, and FAST - 
24-bit resolution on this screen "feels" like 8-bit resolution on a
normal machine (I'm using a Mac IIcx right now). 

	If you're looking for a low-cost color setup that looks great, I'd
suggest the Radius DC/GX with the 13-inch Apple color screen - I second 
Steve's assertion that the Apple 13-inch screen is the best there is in
that size range.

	I use the DC/GX with a RadiusTV setup, but that's another story.

>(Not to mention fantastic [unofficial] support over Usenet from various
>members of the Radius Engineering deparment.)

	Steve Lemke and Jon Hueras are gods. :-)

	I have no affiliation with Radius, except as a very satisfied
customer.
