I got an amber monitor a few weeks ago for my C128 and the screen didn't take up the full size (I had a condensed screen if that explains it better.) I returned it and the guy told me that the Hz were different for IBM and Commodore and that's why it didn't work. Could someone recommend me to a good amber monitor (<$100)?

An IBM-compatible monitor which works quite nicely with the 128 is the Magnavox Computer Monitor 80. It's available in green (yuck) or amber. It is extremely bright, legible, and high-contrast in both 40 and 80 columns. Caveat: to use it properly in 80 columns, you need an 80-column cable, available from most CBM deaers for a worthwile $25. (The monitor itsef goes for about $75.) I've been using one for a year on my 128D without any difficulties. When I booted up GEOS and could make out the individual pixels in the background pattern, I realized what I had been missing with my old color monitor :) Hope this helps.
