The 5300ce required more vram to run an 800x600 screen than the other 5300 machines had, so that the large screen assembly only works if connected to the 5300ce's specific logic board. On the basis of this I would judge that a 190 would not run an 800x600 colour screen, though I admit that I have never actually tried the swap. A 190/ 190cs will, however, run an active matrix screen from the 5300c at 640x480 in 256 colours quite happily. My 190 does so. I had no idea until now, however, that Apple had advertised that capability.
The 190 series is the very last 68k machine Apple produced, and perhaps because of this — and the truly awful greyscale screen most of them shipped with — it was not lauded by the press when it was released. It was the low of the low-end, rather like the PowerBook 150 (which was similarly panned), or the Performa 600, or the 4400. Everyone wanted something better at the time.
Though I too think the 190 (with an active matrix screen) is a thing of beauty, machines that were originally high-end will always be more collectible/ desirable. Thus the interest in the aforementioned 540c, which in truth has its own flaws from our vantage point (intelligent batteries, scsi drive, unobtanium expansion bays, mediocre keyboard....).
