#CTX Monitor use

Brian,
This is the Creative Computers ad in the March 1994 AMIGA WORLD on page
47. The ad goes from page 44 to page 59.
>Frequency Range: 15-38K horizontal, and 50-90K vertical.
Anyway, the ad copy could be wrong. This wouldn't be either the first
or the last time that an ad has been wrong!

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>.

Probably a misprint and it is really 50-90 HZ in keeping with the standard
60 HZ of U.S. power companies.
