I just bought a IIsi and bought a Viewsonic 5 monitor from Destop Direct. It is
VGA monitor with non-interlaced 1024x768. All I needed was an adapter to convert
the pin settings. All for 604 including shipping. It is also a trinitron.

The only knock I have thus far is that I can't center the destop on the screen.
I called DD tech support. They say the problem is that the mac is sending a 13"
image and I have a 14" screen. Also something about the contigous screen feature
of the mac.

Anyone out in net land know if this is reasonable? ( by the way I used the 
manual image settings to get what I have now. I am the farthest right possible 
on the controls)  However, there is still an uncentered image. ie. more black
space on the right versus the left.

The colors are real nice though
