If you're going to get a non-Apple monitor, I would strongly recommend
trying it out first.  I have an Apple RGB, but somebody else I know got
a generic one... if you twiddle with the display settings in the control
panel, you may notice slight changes in the color of the background if you
change the border, and vice versa.

I haven't had a chance to see the RGB/TV sets, so I can't give any opinion
on them (although it does seem kinda neat...)
