I have a Leading Edge Model D with Hercules right now.  I have a 
Paradise EGA 350 Autoswitch card and want to find a monitor that will
handle the capabilites of this card.  But I have some problems.  
First, when I installed the card to replace my Hercules, the system
would beep twice on boot-up, which is not normal.  I had the card set
to only work in Hercules mode, but it still beeped twice.  The graphics
were correct, but that sound worried me.  Is there something wrong
that I am doing, or is the sound something the card produces?

Second, I want to find a good monitor for this card.  I have looked at 
the Thomson, Samsung, and Princeton brands.   Any comments on these,    
any specific models to consider, or any other ideas would be greatly 
appreciated.  Especially anyone who has had experience with the LE and
EGA, since this system seems to have a few individual quirks unlike
other PCs or clones.

Thanks in advance.
