- I'm thinking seriously about getting a NeXTdimension board
- despite the (probably well-deserved) flames NeXT has gotten
- for its handling of that board.
-
- One question: I know on-board JPEG compression was promised but never
- delivered. Is there anything else that was omitted? I heard that
- support for closed-captioning isn't there; true or false?
-
- Also, I'm wondering about what monitor to use. I Will Not buy the
- (IMO rather pitifully bad) 17" Philips monitor NeXT OEMs. The 21"
- monitor is very nice, but at almost $3K educational it's quite pricey.
-
- Y'all who have been in the same situation, what did you get? Sony or NEC
- 17+" multisync monitors that can handle the NeXT's scan rate?
-
- Thanks for any help,
- Fredrik
