From what people here and on CIS have said, it sounds like the NEC 3D is the standard for a good multiscan monitor. The 4D was highly recommended by one individual but isn't in the same price range, it is more like $1150 -1200 mail order. A couple of friends have recommended Seiko's and I went to see one at a dealer yesterday. The salesman told me they aren't carrying many of the Seiko's (1440) now and pointed me towards an Optiquist 2000. This monitor looked good (on a PC running Windows 3.0) and he promised that it was a true multiscan monitor. The specs (which I took home and don't have with me now) show three possible horizontal scan rates (31.5, 35, and 48 I believe) which I think indicates that it is a tri-scan and not a multiscan monitor. After all that I'm just considering the Seikos and the NEC 3D at this point. > Please respond via my email address: lcs@remus.rutgers.edu ---Mike, -- | Michael Figg DSAC-FSD My Karma ran over your Dogma! | DLA Systems Automation Center | Cols, Ohio mfigg@dsac.dla.mil | CIS: 73777,360
