	I have seen the Amiga on a 'black matrix picture tube' monitor and the
picture was nothing short of fantastic!!! It looked just like an Atari 520 ST
screen. in fact when I first saw it I thought it was an Atari 520 ST.

	Apparently these monitors aren't that easy to find and cost about
$100- $150 more, BUT if you're going to look at the screen all day, perhaps
its worth the extra cost.  If you are going to go this route, keep in mind
that these monitors are available with non-glare screens as well.  I've
been told by people who use these monitors that while the non-glare version
at first is nice to look at it tends to smear the picture a bit so they
prefer the normal version.

	Sorry, but I don't know of a manufacturer or any place to get them.

	Good luck, Regards, David Berezowski
