Definitely by all means and most assuredly buy the Magnavox 1CM135
monitor instead of the SC1224.  It has 97% as good a picture; but can
also work with IBM clones (CGA), AND has a VCR input jack, so can double
as a TV (thru the vcr); a very very GOOD tv (very high resolution).

It also has the sound running off a separate RCA jack.  This can be 
routed to the stereo instead of the TV, greatly increasing the ST's
sound quality.

Costs about $300 (your dealer friend may be less) + a custom cable
(cable available from Redmond Cable, Redmond, WA.)
Good luck!
