I just ordered my A3000/25-50 through the Power-up
offer, and am wondering what monitor to buy for it.
So far I have heard that the Sony CPD 1302 is a good
bet but am not sure if the black border will be a
problem.
If anyone owns one of the following I would
appreciate additional info.

Sony CPD-1302: Great color, works from 15-34Khz,
C.
Sony CPD-1304: like 1302 but has 28-50Khz range
C= 1950: Works well without the border problem.
(poor quality?)
Mitsubishi Diamondscan: composit in is nice supports
15Khz interlaced RGB.
NEC 3D: Good monitor , supports 15Khz interlaced
mode.

Questions - does the Sony 1302 support 15Khz
interlaced mode.
Would it be a problem not having 15Khz capability as
with the 1304. The 1304 scans up to 50Khz and may
support future Higher resolutions.
DCTV will work if output to a VCR or TV so this is
not a problem. Colorburst is another story, will I
need 15Khz interlaced for this board???
Any other Good monitors for >700 dollars?

I rember reading about somebody who got thier 1302
to fill in the borders, How was this done???

The salesman at HT Electronics in Sunnyvale, CA said
the C= 1950 was the only monitor that could get rid
of this border, Is this true???

Do all monitors have a problem with the first line
flicker or is this only the 1950.

I am really confused and would appreciate an advice.
Is the border and first line flicker really a
problem or no big deal????

Thanx in advance....   Jo-
