Can someone tell of some long persistance montiors suitable for the
Amiga? I've heard the Multi-sync mentioned, but I was under the
impression that it has a normal phosphor.
Any specific (and hopefully reasonably priced) recommendations would be
helpful.

I don't yet have prices for the Mitsubishi's. The price of the Electrohome units (some of which have fantastic resolutions) runs something on the level of "which arm will it be. Before yu answer remember that we take most of the opposite leg, too." <^_^> (But, till C= gets their LP monitor up they're the only game in town.) -- <@_@> BIX:jdow INTERNET:jdow@gryphon.CTS.COM UUCP:{akgua, hplabs!hp-sdd, sdcsvax, ihnp4, nosc}!crash!gryphon!jdow Remember - A bird in the hand often leaves a sticky deposit.

Do you really want a long persistence monitor ? Your animation is going
to blur, and a lot of monitors with LPP's make lousy colors, like a
white with a purple cast to it.
What about scan doublers ? Didnt I see a rumor of one in some magazine (the
one with Dale in a suit and tie at comdex - nice tie Dale) of C= doing this.
My precious Sony KV1311CR wouldnt work any mnore, but, hey, onward and upward.

Thy are both moderatly wretched. Poor color saturation, white isn't white, and pretty expensive to boot. The Mits was nicer than the Electrohome. Just. Too bad, 'cause as an ex-waterlooite, I REALLY wanted to like the Electrohome, which was made down the streen. Oh well. -- Richard Sexton INTERNET: richard@gryphon.CTS.COM UUCP: {hplabs!hp-sdd, sdcsvax, ihnp4, nosc}!crash!gryphon!richard "It's too dark to put the key in my ignition..."

It would save me a lot of time and effort if such a beast were soon to be available. Can anyone provide more info? -thanks- ...sjk -- * Defence & Civil Institute * ...!utzoo!dciem!king * of Environmental Medicine * Stephen J King - Simulation & Training Group - (416) 635-2149

Its not something the typical poor hacker can afford to fund. I thought about doing something like this on my own. I figured $500 for a Multi-Sync and $200-$300 in parts roughly. Then there is all that time you'd have to hack around to get the timing worked between your interlacing amiga and scan doubler, not to mention the risk of accidentally screwing an amiga or a Multi-sync monitor. Its a job fit only for a rich hacker or a hardware company. Now any one know of any companies planning on releasing such a product? No rumors or heresay. Wilson Cheung
