I hate color monitors. Maybe my brain never sprang back from the damage done to it by CGA. When I look at 1024x768 SVGA extra fine pitch whatever(s), I hate them. The current generation of 14 inch SVGA compliant monochrome monitors are "pretty" in grey scale, but I'd rather have a 16 to 21 inch tube on which to get all those "out of far heap space" and "unrecoverable application error" messages. I've been figuring that the program manager will soon be trashed for a more useable interface anyway. (Anyone porting the OpenWin source to Win3?) So, I've been looking around and not really finding much in the way of a large format hi-res monochrome monitor that works well in a DOS/Win3 environment. Having to feed a Herc signal thru for DOS and then buy a cheap VGA lashup for CV based debugging seems stupid. I'd like the hi-res monitor to LOOK LIKE a color monitor to my system - I can then use an old Herc setup I have for CV. Those without Win3 drivers need not apply. Anyone out in comp.windows.ms land have some suggestions? I'm not afraid of assembling components if it gives me what I want! Please e-mail me and I will of course summarize if the S/N ratio is good. Tomorrow I go look at a Hitachi 21 inch SUPERSCRIPT with TMS34010 based controller. This all seems much more expensive than it should be... Many Thanks. -- |Andy Lynn |"This is just me...|What about the future? | |Teratec Systems, Inc.|impute no one else"|"And like the young lady said: | |Reston, Virginia |STANDARD DISCLAIMER|'I said live it, or live with it!'"|
