It's analog right? It's not the display that limits your colors, it's the display card and/or computer that you are using to drive it. +-----All Views Expressed Are My Own And Are Not Necessarily Shared By------+ +------------------------------My Employer----------------------------------+ + Ronald S.

Since the three color guns are driven by analog signals, the number of colors depends on how fine the resolution from the card can be. The limitation will be from the graphics cards. simple VGA and SVGA can do from 16 to 256 colors simultaneously (depending on card and mode), out of a palatte of 262144. Many advanced graphics workstations can do 256 colors out of a palatte of 4 million, and others can do considerably more.

It, like other analog monitors, will display an essentially infinite number
of colours. How many colours are available depends on the display board
you're using.
