Hi folks, I would like to know the horizontal scan frequency of the Amiga's NTSC video output signal. I am looking for the minimum scan rate only. I'll bet you are wondering why I want this info... OK, I'll tell you. I have fallen in love with this new Sony monitor CPD-1304, which is more than capable of handling the new ECS resolutions. The insert that I was able to get off of a dealer shows that it has multisync capability from 28 to 50K hertz. I more than worried that the Amiga's low resolution (NTSC mode) is below the 28k Sony minimum. Please tell me that this is not so. Some more specs: Max viewable pixels: 1024 x 768 (non interlaced yet!) 13" picture tube, anti glare, trinitron color, P22 phosphor. Scan freq: 50-87 Hz vertical, 28-50k Hz horizontal. RGB and TTL inputs. I was able to get prices of around $700. -- Steve -Raz- Berry Disclaimer: I didn't do nutin!

Sorry, looks like this monitor is meant for higher resolution signals. VGA and above looks like. It should be fine with a flicker fixer or the new chips, but it won't deal with NTSC rates. Maybe you can fall in love with the CPD-1302 which should handle all the new stuff just fine as well as NTSC rate signals. It won't do 1024x768 non-interlaced but it will supposedly handle the IBM 8514/A interlaced 1024x768 mode. I bought mine for $628. ======== Darren Leigh Internet: dleigh@hplabs.hp.com UUCP: hplabs!dleigh
