I have a Macintosh on my desk at home. Next year I suspect it will be replaced by a color Mac. However, this year I have to buy a new TV set for my living room and would like to get one that (might) be compatible. Since there is no color Mac yet, this is pure speculation but from what I know the characteristics of the proper monitor are roughly as follows: - RGB input - 342 (v) x 512 (h) resolution - 23 mHz bandwidth - 60 Hz non-interlaced display - 8 colors (black,white,red,green,blue,cyan,magenta,yellow) I'd also like composite video input so I can use my VCR video output to drive it as a TV. 25" is preferrable but 19" might be ok. For domestic reasons I want something made by a TV company (Sony, Fisher) not a monitor company (Amdek, Princeton). My TV dealer will sell me a Sony 25" ProFeel for $980. My questions are: (for Mac Hackers) - Are these characteristics correct? (for Video Hackers) - Which commercially available TV/Monitors are there that will support these characteristics? Any interesting responses I will summarize to the net. -- Joel West CACI, Inc. - Federal 3344 N. Torrey Pines Ct La Jolla 92037 jww@bonnie.UUCP (ihnp4!bonnie!jww) westjw@nosc.ARPA
