[If this topic has been recently discussed, feel free to ignore the
following posting and e-mail me a summary; I haven't been reading lately.]
I'm looking for a two-page grayscale display to put on a Mac IIci.
I would like it to really be able to display two full pages, which requires
1280 pixels horizontally. This narrows the field quite considerably.
(Apple's version is 1152, I believe.) There seem to be two basic
solutions out there: a 21" monitor which can change the pixel size to
accommodate 1280 pixels (at 80 dpi, as opposed to 72), or a bigger monitor
that can fit them at 72 dpi. I'm interested in anyone's experiences with
either approach. The products I'm aware that do this are
Moniterm Viking 2400: 24", 1280x960@72dpi, but apparently only 1 bit
E-Machines QuickView Z21 IQ: 21", 1280x960@80dpi, also supports 72dpi;
256 shades of gray
(does anybody know how you switch modes with this sucker?)
SuperMac "Graphix": not clear from the literature exactly what this
is, but claims 1365x1024 monochrome resolution
Any advice or additional product references would be appreciated.
