- HELP !!!
-
- Any monitor tec boffins out there that can answer some questions for
- me ? Concerning monitors and the Falcon.
-
- I plan to buy a Falcon later in the year, with 4Mb RAM, 88Mb HD (from
- a third party surplier, cos it works out cheaper then the 64Mb package deal :-)
- and a SVGA monitor.
-
- But at the moment I have enough for the monitor, so I'd like to buy it
- now and connect it up to my STe until I manage to get the Falcon.
-
- What I need to know is what sort of monitor will I need to buy, so that
- I can display all the Falcon modes upto the 768x480 'True colour'
- (Over-scanned) without interlace, and still be able to use it on my STe in
- Low, Med and High reses ?
-
- (I realise that I'll have to buy a multisync switch box for my STe.)
-
- What is the tec. defination for the above monitor, ie SVGA, XGA or
- what ??? What would a PC magazine advert call this type of monitor ?
-
- What is the differance between SVGA, Multisync, Alphasync, Panasync
- etc etc or are they the same sort of thing and just trying to confuse me :-)
-
- Any particular makes and models you can recomend would also be handy,
- I'm looking at 14" less then 280 pounds types.
-
- Many, many thanks in advance,
-
