Due to popular demand and being accussed of commercialism (which I was
trying to avoid by direct mail) I am going to reveal the place I bought
the little card that greatly improved by video display.
To recap:
I own a PC with a color graphics card interfaced to a composite video
monitor (Amdek 300A). In black and white mode every thing looks ok.
When the software switches to 'color' mode the image looks like SH__!.
Text is un-readable, You can't see graphic images from the back ground.
I bought a little card from Jade computer that cost $89. Its called
The Composite Video Enhancer. It fits in any slot in a PC, XT or portable
and interfaces with any color graphics card (IBM, Hercules, Paradise,
Plantronics, etc.).
As I stated before this little card improved my video display on my monitor
by 1000%. Every color is converted to a shade of gray. The display really
looks good. By buying this card I don't need to buy an RGB monitor.
In reply to some mail. I know the Zenith, AT&T and others have gray shading
in their system. I know some new graphic cards offer gray shading.
I spent a lot of money on my PC. I'm not going to throw it out and spend
$2500 on another computer just to get gray shading. I spent close to
$250 for my color card (IBM). I'm not going to throw it out and buy an
Everex just to get GRAY shades. Some of these other cards cost over $400.
Its more cost effective for me to spend $89 and correct a problem that drives
me crazy!
As I said before contact Jade Computer Products at 213-973-7707 and ask for
Blake Vitale. He'll sell you one just like the one he sold me!
