(1) I would be interested in having a monitor connected both to
an Amiga (RGB) and to the composite video output of a VCR, so I
could use it both as a computer display and as a high-quality
television monitor. Is it possible to do this with a standard
Amiga monitor? Would the Amiga monitor have a noticeably shorter
lifetime than a typical television set?

(2) Months ago, there was a lot of discussion concerning two types 
of monitors for the Amiga sold by Commodore. Are both types still
being sold? If the sales people don't know, how can I tell them
apart in the showroom? What are their comparative characteristics?

(3) Has anybody tried using the RGB monitor designed for the C128
with the Amiga? Any success?

Thanks in advance for any information that can be provided.
