Correct me if I'm wrong, but the NEC Multisynch monitor can handle 640x400
noninterlaced, analog RGB and is available for $500 mail order.  I would much
prefer one of these to a long persistence (smear) monitor.  There are several
other manufacturers introducing comparable monitors at similar prices.
