I have a KV-20XBR that I use occaisonally with my 1040ST, with good results.
If you're in the market for a T.V. and you've got an ST monochrome
system, the Sony XBRs are great.  Of course constructing a cable is neither
cheap, nor easy.  (Send me mail for info; most of it has already been
posted to the net.)

Generally, though, I prefer to use my monochrome monitor.

For what it's worth, I'll bet their next move will be DIGITAL.
