Are any of you using a composite green or amber monitor (NEC green screen)
with an IBM color graphics card? Everything looks ok as long as you are
in black and white mode. But when the color graphics card switches to
color mode (via software) the display looks LOUSY!. Text is "splotchy"
and damn near impossible to make out . Graphics looks "dirty" or "smeared",
especially if there is a color backround. I had this problem. I want to
share with you how to fix it.
I bought a little card for $89.95 that improves the quality of my display
by 1000%. It works with my color card and converts all 16 colors to a
seperate shade of gray. WOW! you should see the difference. Graphic images
come out in beautiful gray tones . Programs with color text is actually
READABLE.
I bought Sidekick. With out this card it was just a waste of money, I could'nt
read the text. Now I can read it like a CHAMP!. With this little card I've
been answering "RGB" to my software's monitor selection menu. Its about time
someone invented something like this. Hey, if your interested where I got
this card reply to me direct and I'll answer direct.
Bye

The AT&T PC 6300 has the gray levels built in. No extra card needed.
