I use a Paradise VGA plus card with a Sony multiscan monitor under
Windows 286 on an AT clone.  Using Paradise's driver, Windows runs at
800 x 600 resolution.  I did have some trouble with the Sony monitor:
the pincushion adjustment can't be set to make normal VGA and the higher
resolution 800 x 600 screens both be free of distortion.  I have 
adjusted the monitor so that Windows looks good and plain VGA programs
look ok.  Other than this problem with the Sony monitor, I've been very
pleased.  The characters are smaller (same # of pixels crowded into a
smaller space), but readable; no smaller than a MacIntosh screen!  You 
can always use a larger font.  I like being able to see more of an 
Excel spreadsheet onscreen, or more lines in Ami, or more windows.  The
driver allows switching between 800 x 600 and plain VGA via WIN.INI, 
so you don't need to re-install Windows to change.
