Re: Old Monitor
Perhaps you could hook it up, and let everyone know?

Re: Old Monitor
Only info I can find on it is that it was discontinued in 1988.
If it has an "underscan" switch- you (or rather your qualified local electronic's guru) may be able to adjust the size of the underscan to "make" it 16:9.
I did this recently to a monitor (had to get to the guts inside- CAREFUL!!!l, Deadly Voltages at every poke & prod!!!). There are pots that adjust underscan horizontal & vertical size. After re-tuning- I now can feed my monitor an anamorphic signal and the underscan button squashes it into a perfect 16:9 like it's supposed to look.
Good luck (and I don't recommend playing around in the DEADLY reaches of you monitors guts if you don't know what you are doing!!!!! - just saying that it can be done)
Oh- and btw...I think that in it's day this was a probably a pretty good monitor (the PVM's have always been good- though the color may have gone a bit whack over time.)
Cheers

Re: Old Monitor
Yep. Discon in 88. I picked it up in 94 or so for $10 and it has been sitting in the room gathering dust ever since. No manual, of course.
An RGB I/O, 2 Video I/Os, Aperature adjustment (hmm...), color temp adjustment, PAL/SECAM/NTSC/NTSC 443, comb filter, etc etc etc, blah blah blah.
What the heck, right? Just gotta find a plug for it and figure out how to hook it up to my computer. (I think I've got an S-Video breakout cable somewhere and an RCA-BNC adapter)
It certainly looks like a pro monitor, anyway.
