On the subject of adjusting the picture in super-VGA modes:
I have an NEC Multisync (the original, before they started numbering them)
and driving it with an Orchid Pro-designer II I find not only size of
picture has to be adjusted, but vertical-hold also.  This is needed
when switching to and from 800xwhatever mode (1024x mode is a non-
starter altogether).  
My question:  If (when I have the money) I upgrade the monitor,
which one do I go for ?  The NEC 3D looks a reasonable price, but
will it handle 1024x without adjusting the controls each time ?
Do I have to go as far as the 4D to get non-interlaced 1024x ?

Are there any reasonable monitors that are as good - for example the
Panasonic, or (an unknown name which claims to be as good as the latter)
Semo ?

Anyone got any salutory tales/advice to avoid an error in purchasing ?
Thanks all.
Howard
