[comp.sys.amiga.marketplace] Help needed to pick a monitor for the A3000

lcs@remus.rutgers.edu (Lyle C. Seplowitz) (05/23/91)

I'm going to buy the Amiga 3000 on the Power Up deal probably this
Friday (at least order the machine on Friday). I was originally
planning to purchase the 1950 monitor along with the computer.
However, a friend strongly urges that I look for a better monitor. The
dealer is selling the 1950 for $595 plus $40 for the speakers. Can
someone recommend another monitor that works in ALL Amiga modes for
around the same price. I've heard the NEC 4D is an excellent
monitor. What about the Seiko CM 1440, 45, or 50?

From what little I has seen of the 1950 it looked nice. The only thing
I could see wrong is the the first half of the first scan line
flickered only on the Workbench screen. I've also heard that some
other monitors might reduce the flicker in interlace mode (the 1950
screen did noticeably flicker when the screen was interlaced).

Please respond via my email address:  lcs@remus.rutgers.edu
Thanks!

Well, I have an Amiga 3000 with the 1950 monitor and there is absolutely no
flicker in Interlace mode... Something must have been wrong with the setup..

I am happy with the 1950, although the NEC does look very good. The 1950
can't handle some resolutions, but I don't need them....

In Conclusion, I at least, am happy with this monitor, and may keep it when I
change my system for IBM... (Although I don't know how it will work with
SuperVGA)
