Magnavox sells a cheap ($85-90) monochrome composite monitor intended for use
with an appleII, C64, or atari 800.   The monitor is available with either
green or amber phosphor.   I have been using the green phosphor monitor and 
would recommend it to anybody with an A2000.   (on a scale from 1 to 10,  the
commodore 1080 color monitor is a 3;  the Magnavox monochrome would be an 8.)
The green phosphor is longer persistence; thus, it looks great in interlace
(hires) mode.   Unfortunately,  the monitor looks like hell on an A1000.
Apparently, the color information in the A1000 signal seriously degrades
the picture quality.
