EGA/VGA--no difference SVGA--72 Hz at 800x600 and 60 Hz at 1024x768. If you are planning on using these two higher resolutions, go with the non- interlaced because there is less flicker. (I don't know what the refresh rate of the old monitor was, and neither did the tech rep at Gateway when I asked him.) >I know this is purely subjective, but do you think the >noninterlaced monitor is worth the extra cost? The non-interlaced is standard, and you only save $50 if you go with the old monitor. Since they are somewhat backordered on their new monitors, you can get the old one and have $50 taken off the price, or get a free 200 baud modem, or get a free upgrade to DOS 5.0 when it comes out (pick one of these three options). >Forrest Gehrke feg@dodger.att.com Stephen M.

Monitors with the Gateway sticker. My friend has on of these and it looks very nice. The graphics are very sharp. His monitor will not support 1024x768, but from what I've seen of other monitors I would splurge for the non- interlaced monitor. Robert F. Nee <nee@cf)su20.Sbi.Com>

They are Mag Computronics monitors. They stopped using the Taxan monitors some time ago. They are now 1024x768 analog, and support 1024x768 noninterlaced mode. Coupled with a 1 Meg video card, you have a fairly awesome display system.
