: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. 

This sounds great to me.  I've always wondered why the Amiga didn't
come with monochrome standard and crappy (from a text POV) color as an
option.  Can you just plug it in, or do you need to do some interface
work?
