Don't buy cheap crappy color monitors!! you will be depriving all
those amiga and apple owners of what they deserve!!!

However if you are insisting on getting a "yugo" of a monitor
then the specifications for the color monitors are widely known.

from the sales brochure:

MegaPixel Color Display -
- 1120 x 832 resolution
- 68Hz refresh rate, non-interlaced
(I did not find a horizontal scan rate, twiddle your monitor until the aspect
ratio seems right)

Connector - 13W3-style triple-coaxial

(don't get 10WD40 as a substitute for connector, even though
it is less expensive)


By the way, if you plan on using a two headed display, you probably want to
have two monitors which have the same size.  This makes moving a window
across two windows visually pleasing.  Unless NextStep has provisions for
different DPI on multiple display heads...
