If you want higher resolution displays here my $.02.

The NEC multi I is not for 1024x768. You want the new NEC multisync 3D,
which offers VGA compatibility and IBM 8514A emulation. This will give
you 1024x768 INTERLACED ONLY. If your controller produces 1024x768
NON-INTERLACED, you need the Multisync Plus to do it properly.

IMHO, a 14" display is too tiny to use effectively at this resolution. I'd
recommend at least Mitsubishi's Diamond Scan 16 or a good 19" monitor.
My glasses are already thick enough :-)!

This is not an invitation to flames, but I use and sell this stuff every
day. I personally like Mitsubishi monitors because they look sharper and
cost the same. Net discounts apply :-).
