I have a brand new AT with Enhanced Monitor, Enhanced Graphics
Adapter, and Graphics Memory Expansion Card (this provides for
16 colors instead of just 4).  Display resolution is 640h x 350v.
Much more clear than the regular color monitor and graphics card.
Colors are deep, so that color combinations that you used to have
may now be too dark (e.g., brown is really brown, not the
almost yellow that it used to be).  Some software won't run
with the EGA (my Sidekick didn't, but I hear Borland has fixed
that).  Other software may not have any provision for the EGA,
but the trend is to upgrade since high resolution is now much
more accessible with normal budgets.  Caution:  high intensity
colors often are so bright that they "smudge", so brightness
knob needs to be tuned.  This might make the darker colors
barely readable.  Color combinations that work well:
white on blue, black on green, white on red (all normal intensity).

You won't want to go back to your old monitor after using this one.
