I am getting ready to buy a hi-res monitor and card, but I am having trouble choosing which card and monitor. I would them to be able to display 1024 X 768 in 256 colors. So for these are my choices: MONITORS NEC 3D SONY 1304 SEIKO CM1440 & 1450 PRINCETON 14" ULTRASYNC CARDS ATI VGA WONDER w/ 512K ATI VGA WONDER + w/ 1MB ORCHID PRODESIGNER II w/ 512K or 1MB VIDEO SEVEN VRAM VGA w/512K SIGMA VGA LEGEND w/512K or 1 If anybody has any experience with any of the above boards and monitors I would appreciate hearing your comments about them. If you dislike or like one of them, please tell my why. Or, if you have any suggestions about any other items besides the ones listed above, I would appreciate your advice. Please either leave a response on the net or email me at wasnsr@jupiter.nmt.edu Thanks, Wayne

Hi Wayne, Did you check out the Relisys 15" Flatscreen 1520? It's a nice monitor. 30 - 50 kHz Freq. Cost just as much as the Sony 1304. The Dot Pitch might be more but with a flatscreen design it would look alot better. This monitor is also non- interlaced. Get the Video Seven VRAM w/512k card. Thats a fast card and you wont be sorry with it. The Orchid is nice but get the Pro Designer II though. Here's mud in your eye. ;-)

I believe, for example, that the nec 3d is interlaced. derek -- Derek Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG Minnesota Field Hockey Association, North Central Section University of Minnesota Women's Lacrosse

Actually, the NEC 3d will operate interlaced or non-interlaced, depending on the kind of video signal you feed it... >derek >-- >Derek Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG >Minnesota Field Hockey Association, North Central Section >University of Minnesota Women's Lacrosse -- This is MY opinion.

According to the documentation that came with my ATI VGA Wonder card (with 512K of memory), it can handle 1024X768 in either interlaced or non- interlaced mode. However, the documentation that came with my NEC 3D states that it will do 1024X768 in non-interlaced mode only. Thus, the limiting factor is not the video card, but the monitor in my case. Is it because you only have 256K of memory which limits your video card to a non-interlaced signal at 1024X768 resolution?

I meant to say: However, the documentation that came with my NEC 3D states that it will do 1024X768 in *interlaced* mode only. Thus, the limiting facter is not the video card, but the monitor in my case. Is it because only have 256K of memory which limits your video card to an *interlaced* signal at 1024X768?
