Lines: 27 Ok, I know this has been batted around a bit, but I really didn't follow the discussion. I am considering either the C= 1950 monitor or the Nec multisync 3D. The 1950 will cost ~$530 educational discount, and the best price I have seen for the 3D is ~$570. Does the 3D plug directly into the A3000? (We use them at work and they come with a VGA plug--is this true of all 3Ds, or did my work order that specifically)? Can I display all the modes on the 3D that I can on the A1950? (NTSC, or whatever). Will there be ANY loss of functionality? (Or is the NEC actually better than the 3D)? (If I were to start to get into video work, would the 1950 be a better choice than the 3D)? I know that several users have had the rumored "first line flicker" on their 1950, and that is the primary reason I will consider the 3D. However, some users have reported no problems whatsoever. Did C= fix the problem, or is it just luck? Much thanks in advance. -Rich -- // Rich | "Truth is disputable; not taste." - Hume \X/ Andrews | "180 degrees from sick is still sick" - J. Bradshaw
