I'm looking for reasonably high resolution (c. 500x500) color monitors
that can also display readable 80x24 text (I define readable text as
being clear enough so someone can stare at it for several hours at a
stretch without needing to have their eyeglass prescription changed
immediately afterward). I realize that virtually every electronics
equipment company that makes video equipment is now making color
monitors, but I'm interested in people's experiences with particular
brands. What has proven to be reliable or unreliable? How about
stability of convergence and other adjustments? Is it possible to get
good enough resolution with a composite video monitor, or will we need
to buy RGBs? I'd appreciate hearing about anybody's experiences in this
area. Please respond to me, and I'll summarize for the net if I get
enough of interest.
While I'm on that subject, I'd like to make a plea. Lots of juicy
questions get asked on this and the other microcomputer bboards, with
responses going to the sender rather than the bboard. This keeps the
bboards from filling up weekly, but it also leaves us who read the
bboards with a distinct lack of information. If people make inquiries
that might be interesting to people other than themselves, could we
>please< see a synopsis of responses on the bboard? There's nothing
more frustrating than seeing somebody ask about something you yourself
were wondering about, and never seeing the responses. So could we have
more summaries of answers? I already >know< the questions!
