It used to be the case that TVs synced to the mains
frequency but I don't
Was it?
think that=92s been the case since we went 625 line.
Which Monitor was it=
?
Both 405 line (System A) and 625 line (System I) TVs over here have a
50Hz vertical scan rate (or close to it), but AFAIK they all synced to
pluses i nthe video signal. Certainly the schemaitcs for systme A TVs
that I've just looekd at confirm this.
While there are advantages i nhavign the vertical scan rate cloe to the
mains frequency, it's not requried, and you should ahve no problems
running a 50Hz vertical monitor off 60Hz mains of vice versa if the PSU
in the monitor can handle it. I've vertainly run plenty of US-spec
montiors over here.
I don't really want to split the package up,
TBH - I am not sure that
the monitor is worth much on its own.

Prossibly trying to avoid shipping costs to the US. By default the UK101
produces 50Hz frame sync so he will need a monitor that syncs to 50Hz, no=
t
60Hz as most US monitors do. From the brief web page I read the UK101 als=
o
produces PAL not NTSC so he will need a PAL monitor or tweak the UK101.=20
