- Yep, you're right. I was quoting specs by memory and missed the
- 800x600x16.7mill.
-
- So...
-
- Pro = Approx 25 Mpixels/sec Winmark, 16.7 million colours @ 640x480,
- and 800x600. 65000 colours at 1024x768, 256 colours @ 1280x1024.
- ALL NI! (with a 1280x1024 refresh of 70+ Hz !)
-
- BTW. I phoned Philips Tech support about their new monitors. They
- have a 17" (16" viewable) flat-screen, .26 dp, 1280x1024 up to 100Hz!
- Yes, 100Hz! They call the high-refresh technology FastRefresh.
- The monitor also has all digital controls, memories, manual degausss,
- an LCD (like Mag I think), and looks very attractive (I personally
- don't find the NEC fg series very nice-looking, although I don't
- doubt their quality). The tech rep said the target competitor was
- indeed the NEC fg series (Philips has a 14" to 21" complete line).
- Check out Sept. 29 PC Mag pg. 94.
-
- I'm gonna match the Ultra Pro to the 17" Philips... can't wait! :-)
