These numbers seem way out of line. The Amiga 1084 has: horizontal blank: 15.?kHz vertical blank: 60Hz(NTSC) & 50Hz(PAL) To use a multisync with the Amiga w/ a deinterlacer/new denise and all the new modes it needs to be able to drop down to 15.?kHz and go up to ~30-31kHz for the horizontal blanking frequency. For the NTSC modes it needs to have a vertical blank of 60Hz, and for the PAL modes it needs to be able to drop to 50Hz. A popular resolution nowdays is 1024(H) x 768(V) in both interlaced and noninterlaced versions, the latter being much more expensive. I have cought a few words that with 2.0, the ECS, and a monitor that's capable, you can have a screen up near 1300x900?! (Anyone with exact figures pleas comment.)
