Here's the scoop on the Seiko CM-1430 Color Monitor:

The CM-1430 is a VGA-only monitor that scans at 31.47kHz or 35.52kHz (not
at 15.75kHz).  Since it is VGA only, you must have a VGA compatible source
like the Micro Way FlickerFixer which plugs into the Amiga 2000 video slot.

The CM-1430 comes with a integrated (non-detachable) cable terminated with
a male high-density 15 pin DB plug (3 rows of 5 pins in a DB-9 sized plug).
The FlickerFixer comes with a female DB-9 terminal. So you need to make a
connector with a female high-density 15 pin DB on one side and a mail DB-9
on the other.  The FlickerFixer comes with wiring diagrams for VGA monitors.
I highly recommend the following source for high density 15-pin DB terminals:

	Electronics Plus
	823 4th Street
	San Rafael, CA 94901
	800/321-4524 (inside CA)
	800/546-7135 (outside CA)

The display quality is excellent due to the FlickerFixer and the fine 0.26
dot pitch (OEM Sony monitor) and I now boot with a 672 x 460 Workbench.

I bought the Seiko CM-1430 since it supports all VGA modes including mode D
(1024 x 768) due to wishful thinking about the advanced graphics board.
While I really like the Seiko display, I can't help wondering if 15.75kHz scan,
digital RGB, and composite input support would be worth a coarser dot pitch
and less resolution (I have some devices with digital RGB, S-video, composite,
etc. that might be better served by something with more input support, e.g.
the Mitsubishi Diamond Scan monitors).

Time will tell...
