Mitsubishi DiamondScan AUM-1381A Reference

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The DiamondScan is one of the few VGA-type multisync monitors that has a
  composite video input, and that made it relatively common for use on the
  Amiga (although I believe that Mitsubishi no longer makes this model). The
  official scan rates cover the range from 15.6 kHz to 36 kHz, so the
  DiamondScan should work with all normal Amiga video modes. User controls
  are standard knobs and buttons, and there are no digital memory features,
  so using it with the Amiga means that you have to juggle the monitor's
  picture location settings along with the Amiga overscan and screen position
  settings. The DiamondScan works fine with the Amber board (see Boards/
  A2320 'Amber' Reference).

  One feature of the DiamondScan is particularly applicable to the video
  production uses of the Amiga: the "Composite/RGB Select" (pin 22) on the
  DB25 input. Connect this pin through a switch to ground, and then a flip of
  the switch will select composite video or analog RGB display without
  reaching for the switches on the back of the monitor.
