Yes, and my recommendation would be to get a mono monitor and a color monitor, if you can afford the DESK SPACE. (Price is about the same)  With three guns trying to simulate the effect of one, the image on an average-priced multi-sync monitor is not as sharp as the mono monitor, made by JVC, from Atari.  So unless you absolutely can't afford the desk space and can pay for a better multi-sync monitor (ex: those from Sony and NEC), I would recommend getting two monitors instead.
