Any "multiscan" monitor will.  This means a NEC Multisync, Sony Multiscan
and a host of other random less well known brands.  Sony offers the
Multiscan with Amiga cable.  About 550 dollars.  (Sony is probably
the most expensive of the consumer multiscans).

The "King of vaporware" proudly announced that he needs a new title.
Yes, Amiga LIVE! is shipping.  No kidding.  For a person who is not
already in the waiting line there will still be a backorder, however.

(They still did not get all the parts in from the supplier that was
to have built them.  I'm told you get a complete product except
for the A-squared logo... that will be mailed to you whenever they
get it.  Now the question is, can a prouct work without the logo
of it's manufacturer emblazoned on the side? :-) )

Chunk McManis has a old Sun color monitor at Hacker's V3.0.  Color
was reasonable on a non interlace screen and low flicker for
interlace.  (I guess you would call it a "medium" persitence monitor)
The monitor spent two days playing "Front Line";  no smear problems
as far as the game went.  Only real problems are the thing is as
big as four 1080 monitors and you would probably need to purchase
it used (not an easy find).
