#NANAO F550i-W
I have purchased a NANAO F550i-W 17" monitor. It has the most gorgeous image I
have ever seen generated by a computer. I wanted to get the best!, and I
believe I did. The size and clarity will rest these tired eyes quite nicely,
thank you.
However… All is not perfect. The display from my IBM's side ATI Vantage board
is absolutely unbeatable, and when I use Productivity mode or something like
that, the Amiga display is also stupendous. I have enabled mode promotion,
which keeps things rolling along pretty good. Still, most of the Amiga's modes
are NTSC, and it's obvious that the NANAO, great as it is, doesn't know from
NTSC. Sigh! Also, even if I stay with Productivity mode, I had been sharing my
monitor between Amiga/IBM with a switchbox from Redmond Cable. Apparently, this
box is a bit too iffy for the NANAO's liking, and the signal is weak and
distorted.
Obviously, I need some suggestions. I got a new monitor because my 1950 was
having problems, and I need to at least send it off for repair. I should have
probably looked a little further before I leapt with the purchase of this
monitor, and because of the area where I live, I purchased via mail order. Not
that I really want to send this thing back. I don't think I've ever owned
anything this good. But if there were some magic adapter that enabled NTSC
signals to be read, and if there were a high-quality switchbox that allowed me
to use the bridgeboard without unplugging anything, perhaps someone here knows
of such things, or at least has some general tips for dealing with this
situation. I would appreciate anyone's comments.
