[comp.sys.mac.misc] Cheap, high-resolution *color* display solution

I know "cheap high-resolution *color*" is an oxymoron, but... :-)

I see that Micron technology offers a 1024x768, 8-bit card for ~$558
(mail-order).  Sony's CDP-1304 monitor purportedly can display
1024x768 pixels (I *think*) and is available for ~$650.  Thus, in
theory, a two-page 8-bit color display solution could be had (given
that these two components are compatible) for ~$1200 (sounds good to
me :-).  Does anybody know if this is true?  Are there any other
reasonably priced (read *cheap* :-) displays that will work with
Micron's high-res card?  Any comments on Micron's video card?

Curiously,
