BUT: Commadore's RGB monitor for it's Amiga computers WILL work with the IIgs (I'm using one on my IIgs) - the Commadore monitor will also display IBM CGA and normal NTSC composite video AND "s-video" as output by S-VHS and ED-Beta VCRs. Cost: $275

Cost: $275 Will it work in interlace mode? (like, do you get headaches after using it for 1/2 hour?) Supposedly when you put a VOC into interlace mode and use it with the GS's monitor it gives you headaches... or at least this was what Jim Mensch was saying on GEnie... he was able to use his gs for about 1/2 hour in interlace mode before the migrains started... Hmm.. andy -- Yeah!
