I would like to get a NEC Multisync monitor for use on a PC clone for color graphics. I would also like to use it as a monitor for my VCR. What I want to know is if anyone out there in netland has done this, and what opinion they have of the NEC as a general purpose color monitor, as opposed to a computer-only monitor. Is there any reason why it would not make a good VCR monitor? Thanks in advance! -- Jim \/\/illiams jim@mimsy.umd.edu umcp-cs!jim.UUCP

Previous postings by others to the contrary, the Multisync is NOT a general purpose monitor. It is a very good high frequency RGB monitor, and it can sync on a wide variety of different RGB sources, but it doesn't have a composite input, and can't be connected to any of the consumer video junk I've got. Unless you have a video selector with a sync separator (is there such a thing?), or your VCR has RGB outputs, you should probably consider other alternatives. Sorry to rain on your parade - I wish I could use the damn thing for video; if anyone out there knows of a way to accomplish this, please let me know.

It does make a fine monitor for your PC, though. Bob Rindfuss AT&T GSL ...ihnp4!inuxh!rdr

Um, the commodore Amiga monitor can handle analog/digital RGB as well as composite video (also chroma-luma, what the c64 puts out). At least my SO's does (I'm too poor :-( ) Ken the H
