- Sorry if this has already been answered I am catching up:
- The monitors that I know of that are most compatible with the AMIGA
- as far as being able to handle all screen modes are the SONYs
- I am not sure about the low-end SONYs but the ones that start at about $600 can
- scan down to 15.75 khz and up to I think 55khz. Check em out if yaz gotz da
- cash!
