[comp.sys.ti] Can monitor be used with PC?

maceache@fox.nstn.ns.ca (Tim Maceachern) (03/01/91)

I have one of the original colour monitors for my 99/4  (annd 4a now).
Has anyone figured out whether this monitor can be used for VGA, EGA
or CGA on a PC?  What resolution could it support?

The original monitor sold with the TI 99/4 and TI 99/4A were made by
Zenith and are just your basic composite monitor. If you try to use one
with an IBM the most you will be able to getout of it is marginal CGA!

You would get better use out of it hooking it up to a VCR or LASER DISK
player if you are not going to use it with a TI machine.

Several graphics interfaces have a composite video plug on board. You
should be able to use it with your TI-monitor. I have tested such a link
with a RGB-monitor and a ATI-EGA card. I was able to use 320*200 and
640*200 res.
