I like my multisync, though I still have both the old mono & color monitors
sitting in my closet... You just need to make sure it handles around 15-35khz
horizontal scan rate, and 50-70hz refresh. Mine was also around $450, I went
bargain hunting in Computer Shopper.
I have noticed wavy interference on the multisync in monochrome mode, which
is quite distracting when you have a mostly white screen. If most of the
screen is black then it's not apparent, So, to be real picky, the monochrome
mode isn't quite as rock-steady as with the Atari SM124. But it's still pretty
good, and with overscan I get 736x480 pixels instead of 688x480. That tells
ya something too - you don't need much better than an 800x500 resolution
display. (Unless you also plan on getting something like the ISAC board...)
Mine has a .25mm dot pitch, for 1024x768 max rez, but I guess that was a frill
that I'm not getting any benefit out of at the moment.
Also the pixels are really pretty tiny in monochrome mode... Something to
consider if you're gonna be staring at it for long periods of time.
