I remember my first monitor was a packard bell 14" CRT for $350 that did 600x800. And that was cheap at the time. It died in a few years.

Later on, when I got a better graphics card, I could even set it to display at an amazing 800 x 600 resolution (although that had to drop down to a slower-than-60fps refresh rate, so it flickered). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
