Well, I'm just about ready to start looking for a monitor for my machine
(been using a 13" color TV for quite some time).  Anyway, I've been watching
the mags for adverts and am absolutely dumbfounded by the alphabet soup
that proliferates in the monitor world what with EGA, PGA, NTSC, PAL,
RGBA, RGBI, etc. etc.  Can someone shed some light on what it is I need
for the Amiga interface-wise and all?  I know I can get a NEC Multi-sync
or the KV1311-CR but I'd really like to be a bit better informed so that
I can make some practical decisions on my own.  I guess if I want interlace
I need a monitor that's capable of at least 640x400 so that's taken care
of but what kind of interfacing/signalling?  I guess all that I want is
a correspondence table of RGBI == PGA or something like that (no, I don't
*really* think that RGBI is the same as PGA, that just an e.g.).

Can *anyone* help?

BTW, I'm interested in long persistence phosphor as well.

Thanks and if I receive any personal replies I'll summarize to the net...I
can't believe that I'm the only one out here that would like to have this
info.
