[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Using 1950 monitor with display deinterlacer off, good or bad?

skank@iastate.edu (Skank George L) (05/19/91)

     Does anyone out there know if it is possible to damage the 1950 monitor
by using it with the display deinterlacer off?  I like the way some games
look better with the deinterlacer turned off.  I'm curious because when I
turn it off the monitor makes a very quite but high pitched whistling.  So,
does anyone know, will I fry my monitor by using it with the deinterlacer
turned off?

There is no problem here, the 1950 can sync to the 15 khz, so it
won't fry.  I think the sound you here is a 15 khz sound that is
very common to crt's (my tv makes the same sound).  With the
deinterlacer, the sound is too high for you to hear.
