Hi:

OK, I thought I was so smart! I'm just about to buy a (used) 
MacIIci and I want to have it with a 2-page monitor. So I browsed 
through the ads in MacWorld and decided that Mirror Technologies 
was really offering a great deal: $900 or so for a 2-page monitor.
I had it all figured out.

Now it just dawned on me that, since I am going to do a lot of 
desktop (and music) publishing and to include photographs to my 
documents, I probably need some levels of gray. Sure enough, the 
Mirror monitor is strictly B/W and I'm sure that everything in that 
price range will be.

So, as you guessed, here's my question. Does anyone have advice or 
recommendations about 2-page monitors with some kind of grayscale 
capabilities. I guess I should have 256 levels, but maybe 16 will 
do. Or do they always offer both? I am looking for info on the models 
and on where to buy them, if you have that too.

I guess the best thing to do is to e-mail and I'll summarize later 
so as not to clutter the newsgroup.

Thanks a whole lot.
