I have been researching RGB monitor options for the Apple //gs and I need to
get answers to some slightly technical questions. When selecting a monitor,

1) is the "dot pitch"/"pixel density"/"mask pitch" (measured in millimeters) 
relevant? If so, what dot pitch (or range of pitches) is usable with the //gs.

2) is the horizontal & vertical "scanning frequency" (measured in KHz) 
relevant? If so, what range of frequencies is acceptable?

3) what relevance does "video bandwidth" (measured in MHz) have? (Some 
examples: Magnovox 1CM135 has bandwith of 6.5 MHz, Zenith ZCM-1492 has
bandwith of 28MHz, Goldstar Model 1610 VGA has bandwith of 45Mhz, NEC 
MultiSync 2A has bandwith of 38Mhz)

4) what kind of RGB connector does the //gs use and what kind of connectors 
on the monitor are not convertable (ie BNC, DB9-15p, DB9P, DB15P, DB25P, 
DA15, etc).

5) is "input signal" relevant? (Example: Zenith ZCM-1492 is 0-.714 volts)

6) is "interlaced" vs. "non-interlaced" resolution relevant?
