After a few complaints about the Packard Bell 14" white-screen monitor, I
decided to cancel the order. I'm now looking into a NEC MultiSync GS monitor.
My father has a MultiSync 2 and I would like to know is the GS as good as the
2A?

"A pig ate his fill of acorns under an oak tree and then started to root
around the tree. A crow remarked, `You should not do this. If you lay bare
the roots, the tree will wither and die.' `Let it die,' said the pig. `Who
cares so long as there are acorns?'"

The GS is a monchrome with 64 shades of gray. The two are not directly comparable. I have an older NEC Multisync II monitor. I can tell you it is rugged enough to take a 5 foot drop to the floor and still work. The NEC Multisync 3D will also take the same drop and still work although with that monitor we did have to glue a few pieces of the casing back together. One of the hazards of working in earthquake country when a 7.0 hits.

It has infinite gray scale. Both the GS2 and GS2A are multisync monitors that work with EGA and VGA boards.
