To anyone who can help, I am considering purchase the Commodore A2320 de-interlacing board for my Amiga 2000. Since $ are a MAJOR concern for me, I am hoping to get a decent monitor for a reasonable price. I'm starting to think that I can get away with a multi-sync that doesn't scan all the way down to the 15.75 range, since the commodore board scan doubles non-interlaced screens. Anyone know of any problems with this? I have located several monitors that appear to be reasonable candidates. I browsed the mall up here and found some monitors in the Shopper's Advantage area that are multi-syncs that can handle the 31.5 to 38 khz range with dot pitches around .28 mm that are priced in the $300-350 range. My question is, what kind of a cord do I need with these monitors. Can I purchase a standard VGA cord to attach these monitors to the A2320 card, or do I need a special cord. If I need a special cord, where can I get one. Finally, I am open to suggestions from others as to what monitors they have successfully used. For those who are interested, the ones that I am considering are: 1. Packard-Bell PB8528SV: 31.5-38.0 KHZ Horizontal, 55-87 KHZ Vert Analog 15 Pin Output VGA .28mm dot pitch $308.21 via Shopper's Advantage 2. C.T.X. 3436: Multiscan Monitor with Maximum 1024 X 768 (? khz ranges) TTL & Analog Inputs .28mm dot pitch $295.69 via Shopper's Advantage 3. Panasonic 1391: Analog RGB Inputs $337.93 via Shopper's Advantage 4. AAmazing CM8428EX: Analog Multisync $319 via July Computer Shopper Any comments, advice, criticisms would be appreciated. Sorry I don't have all the information on all the monitors, but it is hard to come up with monitor specs. Bob Kline – via Whap!
