Is the NEC 14" MacSync a VGA? Has anybody tried it? It is also 640x480. I've seen it advertised for $420 in MacWorld. If this is a good monitor, what would be a good place to buy it? >I _strongly_ suggest you look at VGA monitors before you make the decision. >I am in the same boat; I don't want to pay $650 for the 13" RGB, and >though the 12"RGB looks better than I thought it might, I am concerned >about compatibility problems. The 12" feels different than the 13", aside from the lower resolution. The 12" feels like staring at a TV rather than a monitor -- my eyes get tired more quickly. Is the Sony Trinitron the only type that has the feel comparable to the Apple 13"? >Could someone who has the 12"RGB *please* enlighten us to its benefits _and_ >problems? I heard that an LC with VRAM can display 32000 colors at once on the 12" RGB, but not the 13" Hi-res. Is this right? I don't have an LC, but I will get my IIsi and 12" RGB very soon. But I am thinking about cancelling the 12" RGB and buy a 3rd party monitor. Any recommendations? Pai Chou chou@june.cs.washington.edu
