The colors for the color display look much better, the mono display looks just slighly grainy (from the color mask). It is certainly usable, just not quite as super-crisp as an Atari mono. I am seriously considering getting a multisync, with the hopes of getting a real mono in the future (the color display is that much better, completely blows away the Atari color monitors that I have seen). That way, if one monitor dies, I do not have to suffer a work loss (although no Populous would really suck). -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey Boyd | "Nobody can be exactly like me.
