- Hi,
-
- I hope someone can explain something about monitors
- to me.
-
- I'm considering buying a 1200, now I've heard it will
- work on SVGA monitors, however as I understand it the
- 1200 has a number of different modes:
-
- So according to my reviews the 1200 has the following
- modes:
-
- 1280 x 400
- 1280 x 200
- 800 x 600
- 640 x 690
- 640 x 480
- 640 x 400
- 640 x 200
- 320 x 400
- 320 x 200
-
- All modes offer 256,000 colours from a palette of 16.7m.
-
- Would a SVGA monitor be able to DISPLAY all of these,
- with/without flicker?
- Would a multisync be able to DISPLAY all of these
- with/without flicker?
- Would the 'standard' C= 1084 monitor work ok?
-
- If anyone could explain what overscan and interlace mean,
- and what they would mean to a user, I would also be grateful.
-
- Cheers,
-
- Greg
