I have had an A2320 for 5 days now, and I can recommend the multisync I bought
for it. It's the new (1024 X 768, as opposed to 800 X 600 in the old type)
Princeton Graphics Ultra 14". It has a .28mm (according to PGS) dot pitch, can
handle everything that the 2320 can, and it's less expensive than the 1950, if
you get it mail order, which may be necessary since it's a hard monitor to
find in computer stores. One flaw I can see, however, is that toward the right
edge of the screen everything becomes slightly elongated.

Incidentally, I decided to write this followup after reading Scott's post. It
seemed to me that another recommendation was in order after Scott (a C= emplo-
yee) was recommending a C= monitor. While I do not believe that there was any
bias on his part, and could understand if there was, the uninitiated may dis-
miss it as such. IMHO the 1950 is a fine monitor for the money and does exactly
what Commodore says it does. I simply decided on the PGS monitor for the rea-
sons stated above.

Also, I must say that the 2320 is one of the best investments that I've made in
my Amiga, by far. Great work, [starting Bill and Ted impression] Scott and
other excellent Commodore hardware design dudes!
