Although it's a bit pricey, Sony makes a monitor that does RGB and Video ins (2 of each) in 13" and 20" sizes. The monitor is the GVM(13/20)00. I have a GVM-2000, and it's the best TV monitor I've ever owned. It also makes a really good 20" Multisync. It's not high bandwidth enough to display 1024x800 well, but it'l do 640x480 quite nicely thank you. The RGB modules are replaceable, and I haven't got the service manuals yet, so I can't comment on where the bandwidth limitations are (other than stripe width). You CAN display productivity modes on it, but you will get some pel aliasing. What do you want. It was only $1600, and for a 20" monitor that's pretty good. The best part is that, if you're into games or video, the composite ins are first rate as well. My old landlord, who works in a TV station as a tech, says it's every bit as good a monitor as the $3000 Ikegamis they use in the studio. There's also control-S and an RGB-InputA slect inputs if you're into multimedia things. Check it out. (Joe-Bob says) - MM P.S. It's industrial gear, and list price is about $2300, but if you pay list for industrial or pro gear, you're crazier than I am. -- passaretti@crd.ge.com {whatever}!crdgw1!brahe!passaret
