The good thing, though, about using
"original" DEC monitors on
machines like those is that you can get a wonderfully HUGE tube with a
deliriously tight dot pitch and fabulous video quality for next to
nothing because they're fixed-frequency.
The PeeCee world's inability to develop video systems that don't
require changing sync rates every time the wind blows has afforded the
Real Workstation world a wonderful advantage...a plethora of gorgeous,
huge monitors that can be had for a song. :-)

BUT, if you're short on Desktop space, one really nice 21" multisync monitor
is your best friend. Well, that, X-Windows, and a digital KVM switch.
Remember all those beautiful big monitors take up a lot of space, generate a
lot of heat, and weigh a lot.
