I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to monitors on 68K machines and always use Apple's original monitors. My favorite external monitor is the 12" RGB. I like all of the integrated monitors, however, especially the active matrix LCDs on the PowerBooks (170, 180, 180c).
I always felt the Trinitron monitors were a bit washed out until the 1992 redesign of the 13" monitor. I went to summer Computer Camp at my elementary school during my younger days and I remember seeing the 12" RGB and the old 13" Hi-Res side by side. Both were connected to LCs and were running Kid Pix. The color looked infinitely better on the 12" monitor. This was true of all the monitors (there were about 20 LCs running Kid Pix in there and the monitor distribution looked to be about half and half) so I know it wasn't just one monitor at fault. Of course, the brightness controls may not have been adjusted all that well (which I found is key for getting good color on a Trinitron; I have a Sony Trinitron TV and have it at a setting where it looks great but have seen other sets like mine that have not been adjusted for ideal brightness).
