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! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :) :( :> :< :] :[ ;) :| :? :} :{ :* :^) :^( :+ :-) :\ :/ :! l c s @ r e m u s . r u t g e r s . e d u ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everything stated or expressed in this post is strictly my opinion or viewpoint

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)
