	Sure, there are probably several monitors on the market that
will accept several types of video formats.  I use the Sony 1271 PVMQs (I
think).  They're pretty good, especially for the price.  We get 'em
for about $500.  They accept: Composite baseband NTSC, PAL, RGB/Sync,
and some kind of computer (TTL level) multipin input.  I've never used
them for the TTL input, only for analog RGB and baseband video, but the
connector is there.  See the ref manual before you buy.
