	But Zenith doesn't make any multisync displays!  The ZCM-1490 is a
VGA-only monitor.  It can display EGA, CGA, Hercules, and VGA only when
coupled with the VGA card from Zenith.

	That's funny...  Brightness supposed to be one of its strong points
(at least according to the brochure 8).  Supposedly you can turn the
brightness way up because the FTM doesn't warp at high temperature like
most monitors do.
	The thing I find to be dissapointing is that the FTM is either
blurry on the edges or in the center (but not both).  It has something to
do with the fact that the distance of the screen from the electron gun is
not uniform throughout the whole display area.  Other than that, I love the
display...  8)
