If you want to pay $800 for a color monitor that can do 80 columns in color
then fine.  The Commodore 1701 monitor, at $269, is about 20% better (my
own opinion) than the $400 Amdek color monitor.  Also, you can get a
perfectly acceptable 80 column display in Black and White by connecting
only Luminance to your 80 column board (All 80 col boards for the c64 are
B/W anyway).  

Remember the fundamental limitation in displayable columns is in the 64, not
in the monitor.
