>From memory the manual recommended Barco monitors, so I doubt DEC sold a
matching color monitor at the time. I had a GiGi a few years back.  I ran
it on a VR241 and it worked well.  The same VR241 served me well on my
Amiga and various other home computers for a couple of years before it
finally died.  It may even still be here somewhere, by the time it died I'd
picked up various other monitors so I never attempted to get it running
again.
