- Jon,
- First of all (don't flame me for this people, it's only an opinion) *stay
- away* from PeeCee compatible VGA/SVGA monitors. Most of them don't sync down
- to 15 kHz, which is used quite a lot on the Amiga for games and the guru
- screens.
- Next, find yourself a decent multisync monitor. Most of them handle all
- of the screen modes that the Amiga provides. I use a CTX model AD-1970
- myself, and it's awesome. No black borders in *any* screen mode. It's a
- specially modified version of another monitor produce by CTX, but the
- modifications allow it to sync to the lower frequencies of the Amiga. I've
- been extremely pleased with it ever since I got it. Granted most all multisync
- monitors cost more than any other monitor out there, but the extra cost is
- well worth the added functionality of the monitor, IMNSHO. Later dude!
