[comp.sys.atari.st] Info-Atari16 Digest V87 #5 - alternative monitors...

Amen! to the NEC Multi-Sync monitor.  I have been ogling them for some months
as the very best color monitors I have seen so far in the IBM PC world.
They are the only ones I have seen, other than the old Atari monitor, that
I would not mind using for word processing for long periods.  Most RGB
monitors that I had seen previously left me with the feeling that I needed new
glasses.

I am quite willing to believe that the Princeton Graphics and/or Sony
monitors (their best, anyway) would be similar in performance.  I have not
seen them, however.

I think I just decided that when I buy my ST it will be a monochrome system,
with one of these other monitors.  I especially like the sound of the NEC
with the switch to fool the ST into going into monochrome, hi-res mode.
Of course we are all going to be going to 1024x1024x1024 by next year, anyway,
if my rumor sources are as accurate as usual.
