[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Monitors for the A3000 or FF

swansonc@agnes.acc.stolaf.edu (Christopher D. Swanson) (11/20/90)

I am going to be purchacing an A3000 in the near future and am
wondering about monitors.  Would anyone recomend another monitor other
than the 1950?  I am looking for something that is as least as nice as
the 1950, and in the same price-range ($100-$200 variance).  It would
be nice if it had NTSC input, but that is not absolutly necessary.

Please e-mail me any responses, as I don't have time to check the news
on a regular basis.  I will summerize and post the results.

	Thank's in advance,
	-Chris

Always csider NEC or Mitsubishi monitors. When I get my A3x00 in January, 
I'll get an NEC MultiSync 5D. The reasons: NEC makes great monitors. The 
5D will work with anything. The screen is 20" and supports 24 bit 
graphics. :)

Well, even the 1084 "supports" 24bit graphics. It even supports "99bit"
graphics or any other arbitrary number since all these monitors have
_analog_ RGB inputs which can handle arbitrary color resolution.
The NEC 5D is a fine monitor but it's nothing special to "support"
24bit graphics.
