Magnavox Computer Monitor 80. Medium-persistence phosphor monochrome
green-screen. Looks great in interlace -- nearly no flicker at all.
Overscans well -- I'm doing 704x440. Can't stand going back to a 1084,
at least for text work (now, for graphics it's useless). Bought it for
$50 from Sears. However, last time I looked, Sears was selling it for
around $100.
