I purchase a Nanao F550i multiscanning monitor for my NeXTstation
colour turbo, but I ran into a lot of problems.  First was the
hookup cable - the 13W3, but also the NeXT does not do its signal
syncing on the same color as other computers (this was explained to
me by Nanao after I called them about problems getting the picture
to fill the whole screen).  Other monitors might not have this problem.
I'm glad I bought a third-party monitor - it works with other computers
quite well (I had both my p.c. and my NeXT hooked up to the same monitor
and could switch back and forth with the touch of a button).
NeXT is very unhelpful when you don't buy their stuff.  I don't like
NeXT for the service I have received in the midst of paying them
thousands of dollars.
