I have a NEC Multisync, two VCRs, a NEC broadcast/cable TV tuner, video
disc, etc..  Previous postings by others to the contrary, the Multisync
is NOT a general purpose monitor.  It is a very good high frequency RGB
monitor, and it can sync on a wide variety of different RGB sources, but
it doesn't have a composite input, and can't be connected to any of the
consumer video junk I've got.  Unless you have a video selector with a
sync separator (is there such a thing?), or your VCR has RGB outputs,
you should probably consider other alternatives.  Sorry to rain on your
parade - I wish I could use the damn thing for video; if anyone out there
knows of a way to accomplish this, please let me know.
