- BEEP. The SC1224 simply cannot handle such high resolutions - it doesn't
- HAVE 480 scanlines to use! The VGA/MultiSync monitors will not experience
- the flicker - just as they don't on the Amiga.
-
- Me, I'm impressed that they even BOTHERED to support high-res on the SC1224.
- You'd be a bit crazy to buy an SC1224 rather than a MultiSync, considering
- the slight cost diff, compared to the value you will get out of the Falcon's
- higher resolutions. The Aint No Such Thing As A Free Lunch, and your SC1224
- will never handle 640x480 non-interlaced.
-
- Question: will 1280x480 interlaced be possible with a MultiSync?
