Does anybody know of a monitor that will allow me to use VGA graphics and also accept composite input (as from a VCR)? I'd like to be able to watch TV on my monitor. Roger Rouse Database Manager Youth Programs Michigan Technological University

There are cards that hook to a VGA adapter to do just this. Some come with software to let you have video in a window on your display. Both New Media Graphics of Billerica Mass and VideoLogic of Cambridge, Mass market such a product. Brian Perkin

The 13" Mitsubishi Diamond Scan motitors will show VGA, SVGA and composite - but no sound so TV requires a seperate amp/speakers. I think the current model is the AU1381A. The Sony GVM series does what you want. The 20 inch version is the GVM2000. There is a 13/14" model as well. Andy Wolfe

I'd hesitate more than a moment to reccomend one of these to anyone, but I read somwhere recently that Amst**d have something which fits the bill, at least in the UK, and 'the colonies' are bound to be on the agenda, you people have got more money to dispose of!

Misubishi make a series of monitors that can accept VGA and NTSC composite inputs. They are called the "Diamond Scan, or Diamond Vision or somesuch". A possible part # for their 13" color model is AUM-1381A. These can be found discounted in mail order magazines for about $500. This monitor can handle MDA,CGA,EGA,VGA,NTSC. It is possible to even overlay an NTSC image and a computer one, both sources must be synchronized to each other though. John Pasik
