   Apple made a Color Composite monitor with a color killer switch
that is reputed to provide really nice color as well as 80-column
text.  [It may be slightly worse; a RGB card and a RGB monitor would
provide great color and 80-column text, but would cost a fair chunk
more] These were the monitors with the motorized up and down tilting
of the screen, and are probably available used only, though Alltech,
Shreve or Sun Remarketing may have some in real nice shape.
