Uhmmm, better make sure that it has the long persistence phospher. Not all 640x200 monitors have it since it's not required for the IBM PC (which isn't interlaced and at which most 640x200 screens are aimed). Both Princeton and Kimtron make LP screens. -- Regards, George Hart, Computer X Canada Ltd. UUCP: {allegra|decvax|linus|ihnp4}!utzoo!mnetor!george BELL: (416)475-8980

Commodore will be releasing an RGB monitor that can handle the full Amiga resolution and even display all 4,096 colors at once for $495 list price. The unit even has built in stereo speakers and can handle NTSC input from a VCR or TV tuner.
