I am a few weeks behind on this newsgroup, so forgive me if your
question has been answered to your satisfaction:

If you are will to spring about $500, you can purchase the new
Sony Trinitron monitor. It's a VERY impressive piece of equipment...
it will allow for high resolution graphics driven by any micro, or
will allow you to use it as a video tape monitor. The person
I was talking to at their demo claims that it is capable of buffering
graphics characters so that you can use the monitor as a videotext 
system.
