Also, I need to take delivery of my Amiga. According to the Sony product information that I have, the KV-1311CR has an Aperature Grill Pitch of .37 mm. This is better than the 1080 monitor (.39 mm), but not as good as the 1070 (.31 mm). I'd be interested to know how well it works out, and what kind of cabling you came up with. I'd also be intested to know what a Sony CPD-900 or CPD-1201 monitor looks like on the Amiga. They both have a .25 mm pitch, but have 640x240 and 800x240 (respectively) dot resolution. Would the difference in dots cause the screen to look screwy and out of proportion? Ray Davis
