Hello, I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a monitor to use with a A4000 to replace a C=1950… I need something that syncs from at least 15KHz – 35KHz Horizontal, to at least 50Hz – 80Hz+ Vertical… I'm also looking for something that will do at least 800×600 Non-interlaced. Looking around the $500 mark… Any recommendations? Don Suhr… 73117,1337

Don, I just purchased the best Amiga monitor I've ever owned. It's a Mitsubishi HCD3905L9ATR, 20" monitor for $695. I know that's higher than what you wanted to spend but believe me it's worth it. It syncs from 15KHz – 38KHz and is a high persistence monitor so even interlaced at 1200×1000 (from my GVP Spectrum) the picture is just about rock solid. I usually run it at NI 800×600 or InterLaced at 1024×768 (but it doesn't flicker). Using a paint program, like Brilliance, with this monitor is like painting on a real canvas 😉 Pagestream looks great too! I purchased mine from "The Video Works" 800-838-1031, they gave great service. Hope this helps. John

John, That is a bit more than I was interested in throwing at a monitor, but it is also a 20 inch… Sigh. Does it have the full bevy of controls? Like degauss, pincusion in & out, horizontal & vertical positioning/size, and barreling in/out? Is it a shiny or mat screen? How is the curvature? Sorry for all the questions, but I like to make informed purchases… ;-> Thanks for the reply, Don Suhr 73117,1337

Don, Yes it has all those controls, and the screen is shiny. It's not flat, but the curve is about the same, in proportion, as my NEC 3D. John
