Title: Ooooh... Shiny RGB monitor.

Is this what I should buy if I'm looking for a good RGB monitor?
Do they make new RGB monitors anymore?  I've had a hard time finding them.
Do you know any reliable retailers for such things?
Thanks a lot for your help; sorry if I've got a lot of questions.

im pretty sure thats a standard old Macintosh monitor, which means its pretty much VGA but with a different plug.
i could be wrong about this but i think the only 15KHz rgb monitor Apple made was a 12 inch intended for use with the Apple IIGS computer that isnt too good anyway (the tube dotpitch is a little too coarse for my liking) ; I think all the old monitors are composite only because thats all the Apple II's give except for the IIGS's and later models are all VGA-like Mac monitors?

dum dum is correct.  I use to view my SEGA Dreamcast through a similar Apple monitor (17 inch perhaps?) and it was just a VGA, Mac-style plug.
