Gayle, think about it. If the vertical scan rate were 50-90KHz, that would mean that the monitor would paint the entire screen, top left to bottom right, 50,000 to 90,000 times per second! The K means 1000. Now a TV manages 30 times per second. Does it make sense that a monitor would do it 16,666 to 30,000 times faster? BTW, such a monitor would require a frightening 281.25 MB – 1.2825 GB of data per second. Your Denise chip would vaporize <g>. Brian bjbart@watserv.ucr.edu
