I just ordered my A3000/25-50 through the Power-up offer, and am wondering what monitor to buy for it. So far I have heard that the Sony CPD 1302 is a good bet but am not sure if the black border will be a problem. If anyone owns one of the following I would appreciate additional info. Sony CPD-1302: Great color, works from 15-34Khz, C. Sony CPD-1304: like 1302 but has 28-50Khz range C= 1950: Works well without the border problem. (poor quality?) Mitsubishi Diamondscan: composit in is nice supports 15Khz interlaced RGB. NEC 3D: Good monitor , supports 15Khz interlaced mode. Questions - does the Sony 1302 support 15Khz interlaced mode. Would it be a problem not having 15Khz capability as with the 1304. The 1304 scans up to 50Khz and may support future Higher resolutions. DCTV will work if output to a VCR or TV so this is not a problem. Colorburst is another story, will I need 15Khz interlaced for this board??? Any other Good monitors for >700 dollars? I rember reading about somebody who got thier 1302 to fill in the borders, How was this done??? The salesman at HT Electronics in Sunnyvale, CA said the C= 1950 was the only monitor that could get rid of this border, Is this true??? Do all monitors have a problem with the first line flicker or is this only the 1950. I am really confused and would appreciate an advice. Is the border and first line flicker really a problem or no big deal???? Thanx in advance.... Jo- :s ? :!save D Black border

Yes, but need to manually adjust the vertical size after mode jump. not a problem, unless you switch mode every minute :-) >Would it be a problem not having 15Khz capability as >with the 1304.

I tried to use the external hor sizing, and still get side borders. >The salesman at HT Electronics in Sunnyvale, CA said >the C= 1950 was the only monitor that could get rid >of this border, Is this true??? Most monitors can get rid of top and bottom border, but not side borders. >Do all monitors have a problem with the first line >flicker or is this only the 1950. I tried Sony 1302, NEC old Multisync, Diamond Scan 1381A, and all can be adjusted to get rid of top and bottom border, and thus the first interlace flickering line. >I am really confused and would appreciate an advice. >Is the border and first line flicker really a >problem or no big deal???? not big deal even, remember, if you increased vertical size, but not horzontal size, your aspect ratio is off, is that a bigger deal? >Thanx in advance....

Hey dont forget the Seiko 1450 :-) (You see, that's what I got) It has the same trinitron tube as the Sony, but it costs less. I like it tremendously. However, there are a couple of annoying things: when changing graphic modes, the entire screen jumps a little up and down (2 or 3 times). the blue flickers a tad in productivity. A-MaxII flickers in productivity. (NO, not prod. interlace, but productivity). I don't know why since I have a non-interlaced 1024x768 VGA monitor.. -Rich -- // Rich | "If I spent as much time on my classes as I do reading \X/ Andrews | news, I'd graduate." - Brett McCoy

One thing I should stress about my previous follow-up, is that I _don't_
own an A3000, or a de-interlace card. My comments are in reference to
my experiences with the CPD-1302AW under normal Amiga modes. In
particular, the 1302 may have different sizing capabilities when it's
operating at different sync frequencies.
