There has been a lot of talk regarding VGA monitors and cards. The resolution on them is great and the colors seem limitless. But what good is it if the programs that use VGA don't look any different than displayed on an EGA. It seems a little high to buy a VGA when the only thing you can get the enhancements is the demo. That would get awful tiresome

I am thinking about buying a vga monitor. What are some good super vga monitors? Sorry if this has been hashed over recently, but I hope someone can forward me the article. I just got an ATI wonder with 512K and I'm looking for a monitor. I'm was looking in the computer shopper and saw a monitor call "Aamazing" and its just a little above $400. I see that it handles 1024 X 768 and 600 X 800 in 256 colors with a .28 dot pitch. How is this monitor? Is anyone using one right now? Any suggestions on any other monitors would be greatly appreciated? Thanks.

Check out the last issue of PC Magazine and the latest issue of PC World. They both have reviews/tests of Super VGA monitors. Personally, I've used a NEC 3D monitor and it's just super. -- Eugene Wang eggbert@bucsf.bu.edu

They missed the Loop VGA monitor. It costs $359, supports 800x600, 1024x768, has a .28mm dot pitch, and it's pretty good. It's solely distributed by Compeq USA. They have an ad in the May 29, 1990 PC Magazine, page 285. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Russ.Nelson@$315.268.6667 Violence never solves problems, it just changes them into more subtle problems
