I realize that virtually every electronics equipment company that makes video equipment is now making color monitors, but I'm interested in people's experiences with particular brands. What has proven to be reliable or unreliable? How about stability of convergence and other adjustments? Is it possible to get good enough resolution with a composite video monitor, or will we need to buy RGBs? I'd appreciate hearing about anybody's experiences in this area. Please respond to me, and I'll summarize for the net if I get enough of interest. While I'm on that subject, I'd like to make a plea. Lots of juicy questions get asked on this and the other microcomputer bboards, with responses going to the sender rather than the bboard. This keeps the bboards from filling up weekly, but it also leaves us who read the bboards with a distinct lack of information. If people make inquiries that might be interesting to people other than themselves, could we >please< see a synopsis of responses on the bboard? There's nothing more frustrating than seeing somebody ask about something you yourself were wondering about, and never seeing the responses. So could we have more summaries of answers? I already >know< the questions! Rich Stillman -------
