I might have the opportunity to purchase a LaserView Mac II display card
(made by a company called Sigma Designs) for relatively small sum. The only
problem is that its just the display card, NO MONITOR. I'd love to have 1664 x
1200 (120 dpi) 19-inch display on my Mac II but I'm not sure if my budget can
handle the price of a monitor that will work with this card. In short, I'm
looking for the most economical (read cheapest) way to get a monitor that will
work with a LaserView Display card. Any replies in the following categories
would be greatly appreciated!
o Anyone who has successfully connected a monitor OTHER than Sigma Designs'
to their LaserView display card. Specifically: where to purchase, how
much, and how well does it work. I've noticed that a few other big
screen makers for the mac (MegaGraphics, Nutmeg?) use the same monitor
as Sigma, so I was hoping that they might be available to end users.
o Anyone who has purchased a monitor ALONE (from Sigma) for the LaserView.
I saw a price in an old MacUser review stating that the monitor cost
$1400 but didn't mention whether you could buy it separately.
o Any comments on the LaserView display in general.
Also, I have some fliers from Sigma Designs describing a monitor/display card
combination called the L-View. Looking at the specs and comparing them to the
ones for the LaserView the two look identical. Can anybody confirm this, or
has anyone connected the "L-View" monitor the a "LaserView" display card?
Thanks in advance!
