I just got my Amiga 2000.  I also had ordered a SOny CPD 1304 Multiscan
HG monitor (1024x768, .25mm dot pitch and anti glare screen with tilt/
swivel for $650.  However I tried hooking them up I finally discovered
the following things.

When buying monitors be sure to check the lower Horizontal scanning
frequency on the monitor.  The Sony's was 20Hz while the AMiga video
signal is ~ 16.7!  Translation:  It won't work without the flickerfixer.
The Sony 1302 and 1303 have a 15Hz lower Horizontal freq.  Why did they
change?  Inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks to Julie from Redmond Cable and Sony Corp. for clearing it up.

If anybody thinks the Sony1304 can be connected to the Amiga without
the flickerfixer please let me know as soon as possible before I return
it for a NEC 3d.  Also suggestions for better monitors at same price
range are welcome.
