	I hate color monitors. Maybe my brain never sprang back from the
damage done to it by CGA. When I look at 1024x768 SVGA extra fine pitch 
whatever(s), I hate them.

	The current generation of 14 inch SVGA compliant monochrome monitors
are "pretty" in grey scale, but I'd rather have a 16 to 21 inch tube on which
to get all those "out of far heap space" and "unrecoverable application error"
messages. I've been figuring that the program manager will soon be trashed for
a more useable interface anyway. (Anyone porting the OpenWin source to Win3?)

	So, I've been looking around and not really finding much in the way
of a large format hi-res monochrome monitor that works well in a DOS/Win3
environment. Having to feed a Herc signal thru for DOS and then buy a cheap 
VGA lashup for CV based debugging seems stupid. I'd like the hi-res monitor
to LOOK LIKE a color monitor to my system - I can then use an old Herc 
setup I have for CV. Those without Win3 drivers need not apply.

	Anyone out in comp.windows.ms land have some suggestions? I'm not
afraid of assembling components if it gives me what I want! Please e-mail 
me and I will of course summarize if the S/N ratio is good. Tomorrow I go 
look at a Hitachi 21 inch SUPERSCRIPT with TMS34010 based controller.
This all seems much more expensive than it should be... Many Thanks.
