I'm thinking of buying a new monitor for my SE/30. I want a full-page (or
larger) 256-greyscale monitor. What I'd like to know is, which one to buy.

I don't know all the products out there. Which monitor(s) is(are) the best?
Which monitors are the best buy? Which monitors to stay far away from?
Which monitors have VLF protection? Are full-page (8-bit) color monitors
*very* much more expensive? Are two-page monitors also *very* much more
expansive? Please, netpeople, help me! I'm lost without any information or
experience.

Also (but not so important right now), do I need a *real* laser printer to
print greys? Can an ink-jet printer (like HP Deskwriter) simulate with dither
or by using Freedom of the Press Light? What is the best preformance/value
ink-jet printer out there? What about the *affordable* laser printers (GCC and
company)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your opinions.
E-mail to me and I'll post a summary if anyone cares. Thanks.
