Keywords: Multiscan Monitor VGA Message-ID: <216@sherpa.uucp> Date: 4 Jan 90 02:15:17 GMT Followup-To: comp.unix.i386 Organization: Personal System Computing, St. Petersburg, FL Lines: 16 Does anyone have any opinions on the merits of the Sony 1304 or the NEC 3D multisync monitors? Has anyone compared the two? From what I've been told the Sony can do 1024*768 non-interlaced, while the NEC can only do 1024*768 interlaced. Sony also has a .25mm dot pitch vs NEC's .28mm dot pitch. How well does the autoswitching work in both models? Do both models do autosizing correctly when switching between modes? And last but not least, which one has the better picture while you're actually working in front of it. I'll be using this under SCO UNIX, so any applicable comments also appreciated. Suggestions for other brand monitors (1024*768) welcome too. Thanks for any info, email or posted. -- Roger A. Cornelius rac@sherpa uunet!sherpa!rac
