If by "properly" you mean without flicker, AND without losing pixels,
there is none.  If you use the display enhancer, you'll be able to
get rid of the flicker, but only approx. 800 pixels will show up
since the memory on the display enhancer is limited.  With the display
enhancer bypassed, you will get flicker.  Can't have your cake and
eat it too, I suppose :->

Sounds like a whopping moniter, (bet it would work *great* with the
U. Lowell board :-))  but 1280x400 still wont look real good (unless
you like flicker?)  Doesn't matter much what moniter you use if the
signal coming from the Amiga isn't good.  CBM folks, is there a
Display enhancer Enhancer in the works which will have to memory to
deinterlace the 1280x400 mode?
