I have recently decided to purchase a "Super VGA" board, namely, the
Orchid Pro Designer Plus, because of its very nice resolution and color
(800x600x256), and the fact that it is a 16-bit board usable in an
8-bit bus (as a very nice net-user told me).  

  My question is, what sort of monitor will I need to display 800x600x256 
graphics?  Many of the Multisync-type monitors I have seen say they will
display 800x560 resolution, which I assume means that the bottom 40 lines
will be cut off.  This is not satisfactory.  So, I would like to hear from
people who have monitors which will properly display the full 800x600
resolution.  Many thanks in advance.
