I own a NEC multisync II. I have had it about 6 weeks. It cost $630.
It is much like the old original NEC Multisync but it has front panel
controls and supposedly can handle VGA. It came with a VGA cable plug
adaptor to stick on the end of the regular cable. My Genoa Super HIres
graphics card does not have a VGA plug coming out of it so I have not 
tried it. I think the colors are not as good as the old NEC Multisync.
In a side by side comparison the old one is better color wise.

Byte ( 2 issues ago ) did a big review of EGA/VGA monitors but they
did not test the NEC Multisync II which is most unfortunate. They
tested the Plus which costs a lot more. It is not at all clear to
me what you get for the extra money. Byte had a chance to clarify this
but they didn't.
