[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] What is the 8513 ?

FQH@psuvm.psu.edu (01/15/91)

   Could someone please tell me about the 8513 monitor ?  IS it a
  multisync monitor ?  Can I only use it with standard IBM VGA or can
  I somehow use it for Super VGA with a different card ?  What is the
  maximum possible resolution ?  Why won't IBM tell me these things in
  their so-called documentation ?   - Thanks in advance.

   The 8513 is a standard 640X480 IBM monitor.  It can't do any better
   that this, although at times, it can do a lot worse!  Actually,
   I have one and I'm reasonable satisfied with the results over the
   past 3 1/2 years or so.  There is presently a recall on them
   for those that are having problems.  It is good for 4 years from
   purchase date.  Thanks IBM.
