[net.micro] Need large-screen monitor

accuncg@ecsvax.UUCP (07/11/84)

Can you help me locate a source for a large-screen monitor?

We wish to set it up in a classroom, slaved to a VDT, so that the class
can watch the instructor's moves.  The monitor should be as large as
possible--25" diagonal if direct-view, monochrome, sufficiently high-
resolution so that it can display the standard 24 lines by 80 characters
per line in a clear and legible fashion.  The  boundaries of the display
raster should be (adjustable to be) on the visible portion of the screen,
so that the first few and/or last few characters on a line are not lost.
Naturally, we should like the price to be reasonably low.

Can anyone suggest a source for such an item?

I can recommend the Electrohome series of large (23"?) monitors. We
presently have one unit with another on order. The latter will be
supplied with a long persistance phosphor for better graphics display.
The unit fulfills all of your requirements as outlined in the message.

Since it is a composite video input device, be sure you have access to
a terminal that has such an output - some do but they are in the
minority.
