There are a few monitors that can get around this "feature", which many
of us who like to use the Amiga in its default mode find annoying. But
they can be hard to find.

We used the Taxxan 770+, which has an "overscan" switch that automatically
extends the video out to the edges. It also had very high ratings for
color quality. We were extremely happy with them, although if I had the
money, I would rather have one of the 19" multisync monitors :-) :-)
