I am looking for a high quality VGA monitor, something that I wouldn't mind staring at through long projects. I was thinking of getting a Sony 1320 (?) VGA monitor, but I am open to any and all suggestions. Ideally the monitor should have a good combination of features. Low dot pitch (.28 or below), flat screen, 14 inch diagonal measure, and tilt/swivel base are important. Ability to go to 800x600, 70Hz+ refresh rate, multisync (rather than multi fixed frequency), and NTSC composite support would also be nice. Price is a factor but not the most important. (The Sony violates some of these criteria, I'm aware, but I understand it is an outstanding VGA monitor.) The following features are not important (to me): 1024x768 modes (interlaced or not), "low radiation" (the quotes are deliberate), and jumbo monitors. I am also looking for a good VGA card, a simple 16 bit card with all the standard VGA modes plus 640x400x256, 640x480x256, and 800x600x16 (if the monitor goes that high). Support for 70Hz+ refresh rates also nice. OS/2 1.3 driver support for these three modes would also be nice. Mail order sources would also be appreciated. Thanks for your help -- I'll summarize to the net if interest warrants. T.F.S. Timothy F. Sipples sip1@quads.uchicago.edu
