Hi everyone.. I have a couple of questions about the Falcon 030 and the use of monitors for it.. I read that it was compatible with all VGA montiors, as well as the ATARI monitors and TV's, etc.. What I wanted to know is if it makes a difference, or how the computer reacts to larger monitors, or different resolution monitors.. Like a Multisync 5D, or a 19" monitor in color. Does the size of the monitor change the amount of colors? Does the computer automatically adapt to the reslotuion of a big screen monitor? I am talking about true color mode. In true color mode, does this mean the bigger the monitor the more colors? If not, what is the limit of colors/pallete? And are they developing any cards to use with the Falcon for 24 bit color or 32 bit color? Can the Falcon use a card to give it 16.7 Million colors on a 14' monitor? When buying a Falcon 030, does bigger mean better? The Falcon Screenblaster card, is 800x600 I think, but how many colors.. I think they should make like a 1280x1280 16.7 million color card.. or something real high rez in order to compete or out-do the graphics on other platforms. Thanks, Alberto afonseca@terapin.com
