I am interested in anyone's opinions about various brands of VGA monitors and video cards. I mainly do text work with some graphics, Smalltalk V/286, Flight Simulator, Balance of Power. I definately want a VGA system and would prefer higher resolutions if appropriate drivers are available. Color is a plus but so is a reasonable price. I am interested in a monitor advertized in the Jan issue of Computer Shopper by COMPEQ. It is called Loop Super VGA CT 1469. 1024x768 resolution, .28 mm dot pitch, 31K and 35K frequencies and auto-switching are the advertized specs. The price seems to be too good to be true, $339. Any comments? A number of companies seem to be selling Trident chip VGA controllers for less than $150. They claim 1024x768 resolution. Any comments? Thanks in advance for your responses.
