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
