Hi!  I apologize if this has been discussed before.  Please e-mail
responses so as not to use unnecessary bandwidth.

I am in the market for a color monitor for my Mac IIcx. I am still
debating between 8 and 24-bit.  The Seiko 14" monitor seems to be my
current favorite (though I've had a hard time finding a place where I
could actually see one in action, it has gotten a lot of good press on
the net and elsewhere), with the Apple 13" a close second.

My main question:  The Seiko is a 14" monitor, but does it have more
pixels than the Apple 13" (or is it just sort of stretched out)?  

My second question: video cards... the only ones I seem to see
advertised are the RasterOps (not counting the Apple cards).  Are
there others?  What are the differences?  Has anyone had any good/bad
experience with one kind or another?  Are the System 7 issues that
come into play (I still run 6.0.5, but am planning for the future!)?

Thanks in advance for any/all help!
