Subject : Amiga displays

I just read the article in Personal Computer (august). About the display it
says the following:

> The display can be one of a range of Commodore devices, or a wide range of
> alternatives. Commodore's own top-of-the-range screen has very high resolution
> ( 640x400 pixels ) and will sell for over $300 ( and be well worth it ), but
> cheaper ones will work.

_ Any comments by anyone who had hands-on ( or eyes-on ) experience and
  knows which of the many displays available he has seen ?

_ If I buy an Amiga, I want a *real crisp* display. Not the IBM/PC type
  of #$%&*&%$#. Is it worth it buying an expensive ( >$400 ) display or
  do I then see the deficiencies of the video driver circuit ?

_ Is the 640x400 video signal interlaced ? And the 640x200 ?
  What are the line and frame frequencies ?

I really would appreciate if someone would take the time to answer any of
the above questions. Please either post to the news or send me mail.
