Snip!
The analogue RGB monitor is an essential but getting one that runs at
TV scan rates is getting difficult. I was lucky enough to find a
Microvitec badged NEC Multisync (digital and analog inputs) that
seems to display almost anything. However it's now more than ten
years old and starting to display its age. These types of display are
snapped up by the Amiga enthusiasts so what are the alternatives?
Does anyone know the signal requirements for the "new" desktop flat
screen displays?

Several others like Nec 3D for composite and Iiyama MF5117 will do
that except it can't do composite.
But, better get that Nec Multisync rebuilt with new tube (tubes are
fairly standard nothing special about them) and many capacitors,
whole board resolder work if you can afford that. I don't know who is
still making like this kind of features and this rebuilding expense
should worth the trouble.
