- I'd suggest the Mitsubishi 14" Diamondscan, priced at around $450 US.
- They just came out with a new model of it, still supporting the 15KHz
- frequency, as well as composite video. .28mm dot pitch insures a nice
- crisp resolution, and the Diamondscan is medium persistence so flicker
- is significantly reduced, and is basically absent in the Super72 800x600
- mode. (It is about like normal very slight non-interlaced PAL flicker
- using the standard 2.x/3.x color scheme.) Animation is not blurred
- either, as a result of the persistence, so that's not a problem.
-
- The 1960 has almost identical stats (.28mm dot pitch, etc.) except for
- the persistence and composite video. I'll most likely go for the
- Diamondscan though, simply because of the persistence.
