After >all that I'm just considering the Seikos and the NEC 3D at this point. You guys may want to look into a monitor that I was running on my 2000 with the deinterlacer. The monitor is made by TVM and is called the Supersync 5 I believe. The monitor is a 15" that goes up to 1024x768 non-interlaced. It is virtually flat (one of the flatest I have seen), has good brightness, and a dot pitch of .28 . Now comes the best part..... It cost $565 + tax. Now the disadvantages... It cant handle the 15 hz sync rate (too low...) big deal... For a 15" multisync with great brightness, excellent color, and for all intents and purposes, a flat screen, $565 +tax is an excellent buy for a good monitor. I feel that I may be making people think that the monitor isn't really flat, just close. The literature on the monitor even claims that it is a flat-square monitor. I got the monitor at a local dealer for $565, it could probably be purchased for even less than that. The name of the store was COMP USA. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Frank A Busalacchi Jr. (415)__497-6304 | | Email Address: frankjr@neon.stanford.edu __/// | | Undergraduate Computer Science Student, Stanford University \XX/ Amiga | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Frank A Busalacchi Jr. (415)__497-6304 | | Email Address: frankjr@neon.stanford.edu __/// | | Undergraduate Computer Science Student, Stanford University \XX/ Amiga |
