>> <Tony says> This sounds like a monitor
that would work with any of the
then-common PC
video standards, and then some others. It probably won't do the later
higher-resolution super-VGA modes, thouygh, and you may well need a
special cable for each type of video input.
<Dave says> Thanks for all your help. It would seem that all that can be
figured out has been, and the next step is to plug it in and try it on a
system. Next question, is "will I need a computer with a significant amount
of video memory?" I have a couple of old Compaq 386s with 1 and 2 Mb video
memory cards. I am not sure, but I thought since it was a such a huge 20"
monitor, maybe I need it. Maybe you can advise me? Or can I just plug it
into a new Pentiium 4 system and set the monitor resolution lower? Or do
new computes not work with VGA monitors, if that's what it is? I'll also try
it on 110V and see if it works, I guess it can't hurt anything to go under
voltage, compared to going over if the setting just happens to be set at
110V.
