Touche = good stuff.
Not only do you get a slick tower system, with a speedy ESDI drive,
you also get the NEC Multisync-eliminator - the Sony CDP 1304 monitor.
I would like to know more about this Sony monitor, and why it is so much
better than the NEC. Is this monitor 1024x768 non-interlaced? Is it
multisync? What is the dot-pitch (also, what is the dot-pitch on the
NEC, and what exactly does this dot-pitch stuff mean anyways)? Any other info?

But if you want 1024x768 non-interlaced, look at 16 inch monitors (like the NEC 4D) also. -- Phil Ngai, phil@amd.com {uunet,decwrl,ucbvax}!amdcad!phil I'm trying hard to visualize world peace.

The CPD-1304 is a 1024x768 Non-interlaced monitor which uses Sony's Trinitron CRT technology. Yes it is multi-sync; sorry I'm doing this from memory. The dot pitch (the spacing between the dots, or in this case the spacing between the slots since the Trinitron uses a slotted mask) is either .25mm or .28mm.

The Sony 1304 is the only monitor in the price range that can handle 1024x768 in non-interlace. What this means is it's not prone to flicker like other interlace monitors at the same resolution. Unfortunately to take advantage of this capability, you have to get a VGA board that can run at non-interlace (ie. Video7, Orchird, ATI, etc.). The 1304 is a 14" multisyncing .25mm dot pitch analog monitor. It is not able to scan below 31 KHz, so it can't be used with any CGA or EGA cards (but then again, it's inputs are only analog, not digital). This is NOT a problem since most decent VGA cards will double overscan the 320x200 CGA resolution into 320x400 to work with VGA monitors at 31 KHz. The .25mm dot pitch means each trinary color set is spaced .25mm apart. In the Sony trinitron tube, the mask is slotted with each color dot spaced like this: |||. Each | is red, green, blue respectively. In terms of horizontal resolution, no other monitor comes close because of this mask scheme. However the vertical resolution is not much better then others because of the slotted mask. Well regardless, I love mine. It works great with my VRAM board and even though it doesn't have the nifty "memory" feature of the NEC 3D, I find I don't need it anyway, because all my resolutions CGA to SuperVGA are sized just fine.

I don't want such an ugly beast on my desk/table. Can't you have a nice small one AND high resolution? --- Regards, Jaap.
