I had an Amdek amber monitor driven by a Hercules card for years.
These days, I have an Envision 19" flat screen LCD CRT. (It's not a flat screen monitor as normally though of -- the screen is flat but it's a full CRT.) I run it in 1600x1200 resolution, and consider it one of my best investments. I've had it for 5 years or so, and it just runs.
