[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Video Cards

Well, I've asked several people in my department this question, and none
could answer it (at least, not easily. One person gave me a reading list for
ideas that was very thick). I need a video baord to control a 19" color 
monitor for a Mac II with an fx logic board upgrade. I also need
suggestions for a 19" monitor. Both NuVista and SuperMac have been
mentioned as possibilities, but no-one around here seems to know exactly
what their benefits are. The cards should be easy to control from a program
(specifically any color tables). I'll need to have very precise control
over the color environment, so some ability to directly alter the boards
look-up tables would be nice. Also, I need a fast refresh rate. I'm told
that the best you can get on a Mac is 66.7 Hz which I can live with, but
anything slower is out. (I have to be able to change the display during an
eye movement). 

Monitors: I've heard Trinitron mentioned (I think), but I know absolutely
nothing about it. What are some good 19" monitors? Do they make any with
quickly degrading phosphors? Any help would be appreciated. I need these
things soon!!!

Thanks in advance,

I forgot to mention a major point in my previous request for help. The
video card/monitor I'm looking for must be 24bit. I must be losing it.
Again, any info would help, just e-mail me and I can post a summary or
if you can't e-mail me then post. Thanks!
