The best all-around monitor for the standard Amiga is NOT going to be a multisync. Why pay the two to three hundred extra dollars to support exotic scan rates when the Amiga will only put out a standard 15KHz horizontal, 60Hz vertical signal? Get an ordinary high-quality analog RGB monitor such as the Sony KV1311CR (now discontinued, but still available), or the Sony CDP1310. With the money you save, you might be able to add another meg or two of memory, which will serve you a lot better. Note: if the promised de-interlacers show up, then a multisync monitor will be a necessity. Until then, though, they're not. Also, there are a LOT of manufacturers out there with snazzy RGB monitors that will work just fine with the Amiga. I've seen Conracs, Mitsubishis, Thomsons, Electrohomes, Hitachis, Zeniths, and several more. Shop around. -- ---------------- Michael J.
