I've seen a few ads for what looks like a great color graphics monitor
for people (like us) who want to do development on various graphics
boards. A brief summary of the ad content:

- NEC Multisync monitor, $799 list
- adjusts to scan rates from 15.75 to 35 KHz
- handles up to 800h x 560v resolution
- handles both TTL and Analog RGB (this one is new to me, at least for the $!)
- In the PC arena, handles at least the CGA, EGA and PGA

My questions:
- Has anybody seen one of these in action, especially at hi res (640x480 or
	better)? Does it look pretty good? Are the dots sharp?
- What is the dot resolution? .31mm or better?
- Does it really handle ANYTHING in the 15.75 to 35 KHz range? (e.g. Sigma
	Color 400 board is incompatible with C/E/P-GA boards, at 640x400).

THIS IS NOT AN AD. I have no affiliation with NEC. Just want to get advice
before we buy! If there is interest, I'll summarize to the net (and give
our opinion if we get one).
