Shaner) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga.hardware Subject: DiamondScan & Productivity Mode Message-ID: <91022.115050LDSHANER@MTUS5.BITNET> Date: 22 Jan 91 16:50:49 GMT Organization: Computing Technology Services, Michigan Technological Univ. Lines: 27 I own a Mitsubishi DiamondScan (AUM1381A) and have been using it with a cable made by Redmond Cable, that uses the monitors NTCS compatible inputs... A friend of mine has an A3000 and I decided to see how this monitor and cable fared with productivity mode - it didn't!!! It seemed to be sync'ed "okay" enough, but the contrast and brightness was so dark that things were barely readable... The worst problem was severe distortion and multiple ghosted images.... Is this a problem with the choice of cables??? I realize that if I did get an A3000, I would want to get a cable that takes advantage of the monitor's multi-scan capabilities, but I'm thinking along the lines of 'How will the monitor look on my 2000 when I get ECS and 2.0???' Could it be that the monitor doesn't like the scanning frequency used by productivity mode, or is it (gasp) something with his A3000 ??? Any insight, divine revelations, guesses, etc. greatly appreciated... Thanks... --Leon +--------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | LEON D.
