An IBM-compatible monitor which works quite nicely with the 128 is the
Magnavox Computer Monitor 80. It's available in green (yuck) or amber.
It is extremely bright, legible, and high-contrast in both 40 and 80
columns. Caveat: to use it properly in 80 columns, you need an 80-column
cable, available from most CBM deaers for a worthwile $25. (The monitor
itsef goes for about $75.) I've been using one for a year on my 128D
without any difficulties. When I booted up GEOS and could make out the
individual pixels in the background pattern, I realized what I had
been missing with my old color monitor :)

Hope this helps.
