The original poster, John Navitsky, said that he might use the monitor on a SparcStation LX. The LX is able to generate a picture at 1280*1024 at 76 Hz. Not officially, but I tried to set this resolution and refresh rate and the LX came up with a non-syncing screen. Our tube obviously couldn't handle this speed. At 67 Hz, it worked perfectly. When buying a third party monitor that's going to be used on a SparcStation LX, you might consider a monitor that's fast enough to do 1280*1024 at 76Hz. I don't know for sure whether the LX supports this (Sun certainly won't tell you) so you'll have to check. Adrie Koolen (adrie@ica.philips.nl) Philips Consumer Electronics, Eindhoven, the Netherlands
