I am interested in purchasing a low-cost EGA monitor... I have heard good things about the Samsung EGA monitor.. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations? I am looking at the $300-$400 range..... I am currently trying out a Packard Bell EGA monitor... I have not heard too many things about Packard Bell... Any ideas? Thanks in Advance. George

As a matter of fact it will also handle Hercules Graphics if you EGA card emulates it (most do...) BTW, Any ideas on whether the Packard Bell 1439 EGA or Samsung EGA is better? Also I heard about Relisys EGA.... Any ideas?? George

In a related question, does an EGA monitor (not multisync'ing) usually also do CGA (i.e. does a regular EGA monitor usually double-scan so that it is good for both EGA and CGA)? EGA monitors are "dual-sync". They will sync at either the standard CGA or EGA rates depending on the polarity of the sync signal. Some models, like Hitachi, actaull have relays that click when you switch. "Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath.

It does not double-scan, but it has to support 200 line display modes (so a CGA adapter can drive it in all the modes that the CGA card -- the EGA just adds 16-color graphics with 200-line displays and, of course, the 350 line text and graphics modes). > Gary Harrington Gary.Harrington@ncrwic.UUCP > Wichita, Kansas or gharring@enprt.Wichita.NCR.COM =========================================================================== Charles Marslett STB Systems, Inc. <== Apply all standard disclaimers Wordmark Systems <== No disclaimers required -- that's just me chasm@killer.dallas.tx.us <== soon to be attctc.dallas.tx.us I think
