[comp.sys.mac] Full Page Displays

hedstrom@uvicctr.UVic.ca.UUCP (Brad Hedstrom) (06/27/89)

I'm in the market for a full page display for my SE. There seem to be a number
of them on the market. As usual, I'm looking the the optimum performance for
the minimum price. Any suggestions or warnings?

Please email any comments and if there are a number of responses, I'll post a
summary.

Avoid Network Specialties and Nutmeg. Both use a Xerox monitor and
although it does work (I'm using it now), it has 90dpi only and
the monitor causes interferance on the Mac screen. Also, the screen
has very persistent phosphor which causes "ghosts" to appear on any
black background. Network Specialties is also about the worst
company I've ever dealt with. I here they may be filing for Chapter 11
soon anyway.

One I would recommend is the Pageview SE from Sigma Designs. It has
three pixel densities (72, 80, 100) and I've seen it listed for
around $850 mail order ($999 list).
