By popular request, here is some more info on the Taxan Crystalview
19'' monitor: 

It comes in two versions: one is 72 x 72, the other---I have---is
higher (maybe 85 x 85 to 90 x 90). The display area is 350mm x 275mm,
the resolution is 1152 x 864.

The Refresh Rate is 68Hz. No grey scales, i.e. monochrome only.
Installation is done by the dealer or. I did it, and it was trivial:
just plug in the board, hook up the cables, and the monitor works.

There is no software that comes with the monitor. It just works as
one would expect a monitor to work (also, the manual says  you can use
it as one of many monitors on the same system, though I have not
done it). For screen savers, I have tried Moire, and it works.

More than all these technical descriptions: It's subjective display
quality is just superb. If I was to look for a weak point, the
only thing I could come up with is that it is better to operate it
not in direct sunlight, since its brightness is dimmed by the anti-glare
filter that comes with the monitor. Still, I operate in sunlight, anyway,
and have found it not to be a big problem.
