   I aplogize, I am not a regular reader to this newsgroup, but 
several people told me to bring up my problem here. Please reply via Email
 
I purchased a PAL computer. So I immediately hooked it up to my NTSC 
equipment, and checked it out. My programs ran fine, but there was no
colour. Several people said that the problem is a difference in the
colour encoding between the two systems. So I am wondering what I
should do next? Should I buy a PAL monitor? If so do I need to run
50 hz through it, or can I run 60? What is the easiest way to get a
PAL montior? Is there a cheaper route? Like building some kind of
aparatus between my PAL computer and NTSC montior? Are there any
montiors that can display both systems?
 
Thanx for any help
 
Chris
