I have just acquired a 17 inch Mitsubishi C-3920 monitor for evaluation. This is an old 1986 model, but has been in storage for the last 4 years. The manual claims that it is a "multi frequency use" high resolution color display monitor. The spec page claims the following:6 Scanning Frequency:6 a) Vertical Frequency : 40-70 Hz6 b) Horizontal Frequency : 15.5 KHz 23.5 KHz6 The input connectors are the BNC type for R-G-B and composite or divided sync. I have connected it to my Amiga 1000 and it works ok, _except_ I have to switch the loop-through for the composite sync as if I had another load downstream. This is _only_ the composite sync. Is this because the horizontal sync is not matched? I lost my schematics and specs for my 1000 in a recent move, and I don't remember the spec. Will this monitor work with other Amiga's, esp. the ones of the future? It would be very cheap for me to buy, but I will change my Amiga one day (hopefully b4 Xmas 🙂 and if it works with the 3000 or the 4000, that would be great.6 6 ADVthanxANCE,6 David6 PS The manual has a page for setting jumpers on the PCB-DEFL for hor. freq. selection, and the chart lists like this: LOW 15.5/18.5 HIGH 18.5/23.5 Does this mean it will sync to 18.5 no matter what the setting?
