Hiya Folks, A friend of mine is getting a 3000 soon. What monitor do you suggest that new 3000 owners get? He is willing to pay up to 700 bucks for it. He wants one that will handle all the modes he will need while using the 3000. Plus it would be nice to handle any future capabilities that we may get in the future. (ha!) Thanks, Nick

Hi Nick. I went with the NEC Multisync 3DS. It supports a horizontal frequency down to 15khz, the controls are convenient, the picture is sharp and the price is fair. I bought mine from Lyco Computing for $597 delivered.

Aha, I went through this search two months ago. I didn't get an A3000, but instead bought the A2320 enhancer board for the A2000, so I had the same monitor considerations. I finally purchased the CTX International Model 3436. This monitor will scan from 15-38 khz, doing everything the Amiga will need, and can also be used for a Mac or a PC if you expect any such requirements. This monitor can be purchased here in Shopper's Advantage for $407. I also saw it in this month's Computer Shopper for $380. The monitor is a .28 dot pitch by the way. After two months of researching, this was the "Best Buy" I could find. Hope this helps. Bob Kline – via Whap!
