[comp.sys.amiga] 16" Multisync Monitors

efinley%albion.utah.edu@cs.utah.edu (Elliott Finley) (05/08/90)

In anticipation of my 3000, I managed to get rid of my 1000 (with monitor)
for $500.  I want to use this towards a multisync and I need recommendations.
I would like to get a 16" rather than the standard 14" this time.  The only
one I've seen advertised is the Nanao.  If anyone knows of a good 16"
multisync at a good price (around $600.00), please mail me.

	There have been a number of requests for info about multifrequency
monitors lately, so I thought I'd point out that the two latest issues of PC
Magazine (April and May) contain surveys of Super VGA (~800 horizontal) and 1K
(~1024 horiz) monitors.
	I don't think it's a good idea to base your buying decision solely on
PC's "reviews"; they tend to rave about everything.  The articles are useful
for getting an idea of what's out there, though.  There's no substitute for
hooking the monitors to your Amiga and taking a look.

And no, I *don't* subscribe to PC; my wife does.

Personally, I'm leaning towards getting a 19" monitor, namely the Dell Graphics
Performance Display 19C.  This is actually an OEM'd version of the big
DiamondScan.  It's considerably less expensive than other 19" monitors (gee,
only $2400), but even that's a staggering price for a monitor.  Luckily, my
wife works at Dell, so I can get it for nearly cost. 8^>

Just think, a life-sized instrument panel and HUD for Falcon. :-)  Anybody
wanna buy a nice used Sony CPD1302 MultiScan?

Now where am I gonna stick that 3000?  I don't think its case can handle 70lbs
of monitor...
