Boaz:
Thanks for that website. I will try this out. But before I do, I see by
the website that this is for multisync monitors.
1) Is there any difference or danger to the monitor in using these numbers
if my monitor is not a multisync?
2) In the pamphlet for the Vision Graphic monitor, there is no listing for
bandwidth. But there was a listing for "pixel rate" which was 110 MHz.
Since this was the same as what was listed for bandwidth for the Acer
monitor, I assumed that these were synonymous. Is this correct?
3) What possible dangers are there to the monitor if I get these numbers
wrong?
Thanks again,
Jonathan Daniel
