From article <6912@killer.DALLAS.TX.US:, by elg@killer.DALLAS.TX.US (Eric Green):
: Has anybody used a Samsung multisync monitor on their Amiga? My
: brother is thinking about getting a MS-DOG machine with either EGA or
: VGA, but he wants to be able to play games in color on the spare 1000,
: too (currently he's jacking it into an old 1702 composite monitor to
: play games, which setup doesn't work too well naturally). So he's
: looking for a multiscan monitor, of which the Samsung looks least
: expensive. 

	I'm using the Samsung on my Amiga right now... You'll have to
use buffers on HSYNC and VSYNC to get the best picture and still allow
your machine to boot, but other than that it's working quite well. I
get some slight distortion with mine, the characters are squeezed in
the center of the screen. I've got a call in to Samsung about this, but
haven't heard back. I don't really notice it, but it's visable... The
colors are very good and it runs well with ECS although there's an audible
click when switching between 15.75KHz and 31.50KHz. The click isn't
there when switching from 15.75KHz to 17.60KHz or between 31.50KHz and
35.20KHz. (I do some weird things with my system clock...)

: Question: does anyone have specs on how low it'll sync? Some
: "multisync" monitors, e.g. Princeton, won't sync down all the way to
: NTSC... 

	No problems with syncing in to 15.75KHz... Specs call for 15-35.
