[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Big Mono Monitor?

dlarson@blake.u.washington.edu (Dale Larson) (10/11/90)

I _REALLY_ like SuperHi-Res Interlace mode.  It is too small to use for long
on a 14" monitor (I like it because it gets so much text visible so bigger
fonts are useless).  The Viking Moniterm is way too expensive for me.  
Why isn't there a 16-19" high-persistence phosphor monochrome monitor for
Amiga use (probably in the $200 range)?  I have looked for such a monitor
in things like Computer Shopper for a year (though I haven't had SuperHi-Res
for that long) and have never found one.

If anyone knows of such a monitor, please send me info.

If you work for Commodore, please consider adding such a monitor to your 
product line.  The A2024 is too small, and I am sure that there are folks
using lots of text and little graphics who could really appreciate inexpensive
and USEABLE 1200x400.

Wait a minute! I think the A2024 is 19-21", which id quite large by 
computer standards.

Thinking won't change it's size ;-)

A2024 is 15".


While talking about monitors has anybody seen or actually owns Highgraph V
graphics card which should be better than FlickerFixer?  
Ralf Jochheim Computer Tuning advertises that card in German Markt&Technik
Amiga-magazin: max. resolution 848x610, all 4096 colours in all modes, 
requires multisync monitor etc. Price about the same as for FlickerFixer
(PAL version) in Germany...sounds too good to be true. :)

I called CATS 2 months ago to ask about A2024 size and was told that it is
14".
