The 1080 is an analog monitor. Will it work with IBM type VGA adaptors? If so what cabling is required. What are the specs on the 1080? I have a 1080 but the manual doesn't state it's screen resolution. Jim Duncan

A better explanation is that VGA (which is analog) will not work on a 1080 monitor because VGA uses a different scanning frequency. The 1080 is (I think) 15Khz while VGA uses something like 31Khz. -- John Sparks | D.I.S.K. 24hrs 1200bps.
