(I recall it took Well, I have the Electrohome ECM 1310U Series Multi-Sync monitor and its great, works in all three resolutions, Low, Medium and High. It has VGA qualities so when the TT comes out I dont see any problems hooking it up. It has underscan built in the back and if I tie down line 4 in the RGB Cable I have instant Monochrome mode. In monochrome mode it looks great. Multi-Sync monitors are the wave of the future as I and many programmers have and will be writting programs and differenct Hrz rates. Eg(85 or 45). The picture definitely is better, this particular monitors resolution is 720 by 540 lines. It has antiglare .31 mm dotpitch with many other built in fancy features. I run all european programs without any problems. As for the price phone electrohome its only drawback is that it has no speaker but with the STE that isnt a problem. I hook mine up through the audio line to my ghettoblaster. Dave Tomesch, Super BBS (519) 749-1206, Kwest Co-Chairman, StarTrak Inc.
