The NTSC specs:

Horizontal frequency is 15.73426 KHz.
Vertical frequency is 59.94 Hz.
Color subcarrier is 3.579545 MHz.

Sorry, looks like this monitor is meant for higher resolution signals.
VGA and above looks like.  It should be fine with a flicker fixer or
the new chips, but it won't deal with NTSC rates.

Maybe you can fall in love with the CPD-1302 which should handle all
the new stuff just fine as well as NTSC rate signals.  It won't do
1024x768 non-interlaced but it will supposedly handle the IBM 8514/A
interlaced 1024x768 mode.  I bought mine for $628.
