Hi Matt,

I have run with an Eizo Flexscan. From a hardware point of view, the Eizo
will do basically any refresh rate that you can throw at it. As for colour,
it's analog, with the Green gun providing the input.. (incidently its grey
scale, not monochrome) this means that if you have a colour that would be
completely red or blue, then it comes out black on the monitor. This isn't
as annoying as it seems however.. (not much software actually uses all red
or blue). All in all, it is an exceptional monitor for X. (If you consider
that many "dumb" Xterminals are mono, and they still work fine).

regards,
gerardo
