The 1430, which was discontinued, is a dual frequency. The 1440 is
now available (I'm using it right now) and is multi-sync. ($550)
At the top end, it can only do 1024x768 interlaced. Note that to do
a true 1024x768 non-interlaced requires 65 Mhz bandwidth, most of
the products which claim to do it like NEC 3D (45 Mhz) and
Sony 1304 (50 Mhz) don't really meet the full bandwidth although
they may have the 48Khz horizontal frequency.

A NEC 4D is ok but that's a little expensive. I've heard rumors of
a Seiko 1450 but know nothing about it.
