- Tim:
-
- I use a Sigma Design 19" monochrome display with a Sigma Legend card,
- resolution 1660x1100. The display is installed in a 386-33 AT-class
- system with 8 MB RAM.
-
- Good points: I run MS Windows 3.1 apps, mostly CorelDraw, FrameMaker,
- PageMaker, and Word for Windows with no problem at all. I'm very happy
- with the monitor and the card.
-
- Bad points: The documentation for the product is underwhelming (I'm a
- technical writer), so I recommend that someone knowledgeable install
- it. The installation isn't difficult; the docs only make it seem that
- way.
-
- Of course, you have to have a Windows 3.1 driver from Sigma Design,
- but I'm sure they must bundle it in right now.
