Greetings all!! I know this has come up before, but there is a little twist involved. What I'm looking for is: VGA 13"-19" color monitor, that can handle the 800x600 modes (19" should take the 1024x7?? mode too). Problem is, it HAS to have the 120/220 selectable power supply. I've got a 13" "IMTEX" monitor now. I opened it up to check on the PS, but, alas, can't switch it to 220. (besides, it can't handle the 800x600 mode worth sh*t, looks like watching an old b/w silent picture) BTW, it has Samsung guts and tube!! So, If anybody HAS (as in, owns one or works on one) a VGA 13" or bigger monitor that can handle 800x600 mode, AND is 120/220 selectable, please E-MAIL me your experiences. I need to know: + does it hold still in high modes? i.e., no wavering + have you tried plugging it in to a 220 (european) socket? + What connectors does it have? analog/digital/both? + Does it change alignment evrytime you change modes? + Who's tube and guts does it have? IOW, mines a piece of crap, and I can't take it with me to Switzerland. I want to buy a cheap mail-order type VGA but don't want to get screwed again. I can't afford something like the NEC 4D (or is it 3? the big one i mean), but HAVE to have one before December. I'll surmise (sp intentional) to the net if anyone else gives a RS.

Following monitors have a selector switch inside the monitor for 120/220V: Mitsubishi DiamondScan 16L - handles res till 1280x1024 and is 16" in size. retail price $1150 Hitachi SuperScan CM6050 = is 19" and handles all res till 1280x1024 retail price $1850 I bought the 16L and will take it overseas later on. > I need to know: > + does it hold still in high modes? i.e., no wavering > + have you tried plugging it in to a 220 (european) socket? Not yet. You will need a plug adaptor (to change the sizes of pins) that you can buy for $1 at a local store like Radio Shack here, even if 120/220V switch is there. > + What connectors does it have? analog/digital/both? Both are analog monitors > + Does it change alignment evrytime you change modes? There are ways to store the settings for the picture in 16L so that you have to do very little fiddling but itsnt so flexible.
