     Tried one of those on our IIgs a couple years ago. It was connected to a
17" VGA display.

     My recollection is that the Desktop display and 640-mode displays in
general were, at best, just fair-- too blurry.

     320-mode displays were better-- not as sharp as a IIgs monitor; but,
larger and entirely usable.

     Seems like the old-Apple lores, hires, and DHR displays may have been as
good as you get from the GS monitor or even better.
