I have a zenith monitor, VM131, i believe. The specs say it uses TTL analog signals for the red, green, and blue feeds. Can I connect this monitor to an amiga? And if so will I be able to get all of the colors? If this will not work, I would appreciate an explanation. Thanks for your time. SAM103@PSUVM

SAM103@PSUVM I have never heard of 'TTL analogue' signals. TTL usually refers to a digital ( on/off ) type of signal, as opposed to the continous analogue variety. It is possible that your monitor accepts either type ( in which case it most likely has a switch for selecting them ). The amiga puts out three TTL level sync signals. Horizontal and vertical sync, or composite sync. Most likely your monitor accepts composite sync, although it might require the separate horizontal and vertical sync. The key issue here is that the monitor must be a 15.75 khz horizontal scan rate monitor. Check the spec. As for the video, if the monitor accepts analogue RGB, you should be in fat city with all the colors. Hedley
