Lines: 34 Hello All! I have seen several posts for requests for multisync monitors. I did have the opportunity to personally use both a NEC3d and my Sieko 1450 on my 3000. Both monitors had some trouble in the Productivity (the 3d fared slightly better). Both flickered the blue color a tad and had wierd effects when switching to non-productivity modes and back. However, if you use HiRes Interlaced or SuperHires Interlaced, you get a rock solid screen. There is no flicker in the blue and no wierd effects when swiching modes. I am very satisfied with the resolution Using the overscan program in 2.0, my workbench is 710x480 in HiRes Interlaced, 676x493 in Productivity, and 1420x480 in SuperHires interlaced. The colors on my Sieko are brilliant (it has the same tube as the Sony). The only thing that I have noticed is that some graphic pictures actually look better on a 1080 since the better monitor does not let the colors "bleed" at all. :-) I got the 1450 since it was deinterlaced. But, it is not NTSC and cannot display 15Mhz (the 3d can). However, it has a better dot pitch than the 3d (.25 vs .28) and costs the same. The price I paid for the 1450 is $595. (It lists for > $750). Be sure to shop around. The 3d costs $575. -Rich -- // Rich | "Truth is disputable; not taste." - Hume \X/ Andrews | "180 degrees from sick is still sick" - J. Bradshaw
