Hello there sports fans, I am collecting information about High Resolution large-format monochrome displays for the Mac SE and Mac II. By high resolution I mean 115-120 dots/inch minimum, and by large format I mean large enough for one 8.5x11 page with room left over (sort-of 1.5 8.5x11 pages minimum). As an example, the display on a SUN 3/260HM is about the minimum requirement. If anyone can give me any pointers, I would appreciate it. -Mike O'Dell

I don't know the price or the availability but here are the specs (I did see a monitor which looked very nice at first glance albeit small text!) 1600 x 1280 pixels in a 19in monitor 67 Hz refresh rate image area 13.8 x 10.8 inches noninterlaced one year warranty This is a Mac II monitor although they may have monitors for other systems as well. The biggest problem with these ultra high resolution monitors is that currently the Mac doesn't really work too well with screen resolutions so far away from the standard 72 dots/in. In the case of this monitor, the menubar is quite small, icons are also tiny, etc. For graphics applications where one can work in all sorts of zoomed views it would work very well. I know that Sigma Designs is working on MacSE and MacII monitors which have very high resolution as well but I don't have the specs at hand. Obviously I have nothing to do with these companies. If I did I sure would try and have more info to push! David Gelphman daveg%slacvm.bitnet@forsythe.stanford.edu
