[comp.sys.sun] Using large-screen TV for color display?

datri@uunet.uu.net (Anthony A. Datri) (08/27/89)

I'm curious as to the possibility of using a 27" or so TV as the display
for a color Sun (eg., a 3/80).  I realize that signal-converting hardware
would be needed, but is the TV up to it?

A standard TV is NOT up to the scan rate of a sun workstation. There are
for large and projection TV that will handle it, but they can cost from $15K
to $30K each.
