I run Windows 3.0 on a 25MHz 386-based PC with 8MB of RAM and a VGA card. I'm
about to start some serious software development which requires some large
windows with lots of pixels. Therefore:
I'm looking for the highest resolution video adapter/monitor combination
available for the IBM PC. The product MUST be supplied with Windows 3.0
drivers, or else said drivers must be readily available to me. Note: We're a
UUCP site, so that means NO FTP.
To give you some idea, I've already found out about the ETAP monitors which
will do 1440 x 1080, and come with drivers. Can anyone beat that?
Price should be considered to be relatively unimportant; colour likewise.
(In fact, I think I prefer monochrome.)
Reply by mail, please; I'll summarize.
mathew.

It requires a somewhat non-standard installation procedure (read the README.TXT file on the driver disk) and will only support single-monitor systems :^(. I've found most (all?) commercial software large-screen tolerant, but some ill-designed software such as Troglobyte's Click! filer don't size properly. The version of the Laser...er...L-View has only two shades of gray in addition to the black and white, so some color icons lose out. One thing that really shines is Adobe Type Manager. It's _GREAT_ in high-resolution. Regards, Jim Adams -- James F. Adams John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc.
