Are there any MultiSync monitors 17inch or greater that can do 15khz RGB
signal or all they all 30 thru 80 now. And if i did go with an older one
that supports 15khz which is better (NEC, C=, or that other model only 3 i
know of that support all video modes)

but has both VGA and BNC connectors with automatic signal detection.
I'm hoping to have my BVision connected to the BNC and my scandoubled
AGA output connected to the VGA. If the auto signal detection works as
it says it should be as good as having a Picasso IV:). Even if it
dosen't you only need to press a couple of buttons on the monitors
menus to change inputs.

AFAIK, there was only one by Microvitec made for Escom, the M1764 which I
have. The screen was great at the time (still is really ;) but newer 30khz
models are better. And the repair history of the M1764 is very poor. I
believe probably at least half of new ones sold died withing the first
year. Fortunately within the warrantee period.

Among the older 13-15 inch models I heard the NEC 3D was the best.

You didn't say what kind of Amiga model you have. If a boxed Amiga you
might be better off getting a PIV board with it's built-in scan
doubler/flicker fixer and then be able to buy from the crop of "recently
dropped in prices 17 inch models to make way for the new 19 inch
versions", SVGA monitors from any PC vendor.

Alternately you can buy an internal/external scandoubler w/wo flicker
fixer and again get one of those off the shelf monitors.

If you really want to cheap out though and get the older model, go to
comp.sys.amiga.marketplace or eBay or www.cyberswap.com to find one.

Idek MF17xx will do the trick.

And it will sync down to 15khz? Didn't know about that one.

Good to know if true.

Another good monitor for the money is the AOC 7Glr that I just bought a
few weeks ago. It's 17" .26dp and 85KHz. It doesn't sync below 30KHz
but you mentinoed PicassoIV so it doesn't matter. Right now I'm running
NTSC at 120Hz and PAL at 100Hz ;) It makes for a very sharp display.
Also, 1600*1200@ 100Hz is damn impressive too. But the real kicker is I
paid $196 US for this thing (+shipping). I could buy *almost* 4 of my
old M1764 for that. And the alignment and detail is much better too.
So the moral of the story is that you're probably better off getting a
scandoubler or flicker fixer along with a standard 30KHz+ multisync. In
the end, you pay less and get more.

Also, one of the guys in my user's group just bought an incredible Sony
19" Trinitron monitor. What an awesome display!! He was using an A4KT
and PicassoIV to drive it and the picture quality was simply excellent!
One of the nice extras for this monitor was a concealed front mounted
VGA port. Very handy for those with notebook computers! As I have to
carry a PC notebook this would be very conenient though a bit pricey for
me. But it was a perfect match for the 1280*1024 Workbench he was
running. Fusion was looking sharp at that res too on OS8.1. OK, I'm a
little jealous - but what an awesome display ;) Regards...joe
