Apple IIGS monitor replacement



Hi,

Now I get my system disk for my GS, I am faced with another problem:
the LCD TV is not suitable for anything 640 mode or 80 column - - they
looks like double hires! If you still remember double hires, basically
it is 560x192 monochrome or 140x192 with 16 colors... so basically
when you show a DHR mono image (says Instant Pascal) on a color
monitor, it is just color everywhere and looks very bad.

Surpringingly my PowerMac 7200/120 monitor (which is a 14" I think),
display Apple IIGS graphics on 640x480 mode using Bernie PERFECTLY.
Now I wonder why there are all talks to use GS on a VGA monitor, etc,
but not to a Mac monitor? This is the closest to a GS experience I
think. At least Mac monitor might be easier to locate than GS monitor.
I will be glad to use 7200/120 for my GS if it is indeed possible.

Or is there a way to force the GS to display 640 mode in monochrome...?
