[visionlist] update on CRT's

[Max Snodderly]

Thanks to the many colleagues who have sent me suggestions and information
in response to my recent inquiry.  

I will send a summary of the suggestions soon.  As we know, many
manufacturers, including Sony, Iiyama, and apparently Mitsubishi, no longer
sell CRT monitors.  

The fastest currently available model that I have found is from NEC, their
model AS120-BK, AccuSync 120-BK.  It supports a 200 Hz frame rate.  

The spec sheet only lists the following:

Resolutions Supported:  

640 x 480 @ 60 to 188 Hz

800 x 600 @ 55 to 153 Hz

832 x 624 @ 55 to 144 Hz

1024 x 768 @ 55 to 119 Hz

1152 x 870 @ 55 to 105 Hz

1280 x 1024 @ 55 to 89 Hz

1600 x 1200 @ 55 to 76 Hz

 

However, in talking to the tech support staff, they say that 200 Hz can be
used with the 640 x 480 resolution.

Another bit of information is that the manufacturers do not exhaustively
test these monitors, and sometimes they will do better than the specs, which
are simply what they have tested and are willing to vouch for.  (However,
running the monitor beyond the nominal range may shorten its lifetime.)

If anyone has one of the NEC monitors and could test the high end of its
performance, it would be valuable information not otherwise available.
