Anything larger than the 12" low resolution monitor that Apple matched with
the LC is UNBEARABY slow even in 8 bit mode.  There is not enough horse power
in the LC to handle a 640 X 480 screen.  Save you money until the price drops,
 
you can afford a IIsi, or can afford an accelerator for the LC.

You will not be happy with an LC and a 640 x480 monitor.
