The Seiko CM-1430 is a VGA monitor with a dot pitch of .26mm that
can do an interlaced 1024x768 that is 8514/A compatible. I have one, really
like it, and up until two days ago, would have recommended it without
reservation. Now, I have a single reservation.
The CM1430 is not a true multiscanning monitor. It has multiple
frequencies, but will not sync to all intermediate scanning rates. The
VESA mode, 800x600x256 colors, is thereby problematic. With my VGA
hardware, it does display at this resolution, but the display rolls
approximately twice a second, good for a glance, but lousy for slideshows.
A call to Seiko confirms that this occurs with most VGA adapters, with
the notable exceptions of the Orchid ProDesigner and another by Tecmar.
Presumably, it was one of these that InfoWorld tested the monitor with,
since they did not report a problem with the Seiko monitor, and otherwise
gave it a good review (they reviewed it after I bought it, but it was a
nice confirmation). Hence, if you want this resolution, you have to go
with a rather limited number of adapter cards, OR buy a different monitor.
One monitor which seems to be the rough equivalent (and which Sony
introduced several weeks after I bought my Seiko monitor) is the
Sony MultiSync 3D. It has a street price about $100-$150 greater than the
Seiko. I know nothing about its quality (reviews graciously received) but
it should not have this annoying problem.

Anything like the NEC MultiSync 3D? It seems strange that NEC and Sony would both use the same designation for a monitor....... -- ============================================================================= | Help stamp out stupid .signature files!

company has not registerd the package. If anyone will be willing to
compile my source code please reply.
Thanks in advance
