Proposal for Monitor Specs

(1 / 1)


Proposal for Monitor Specs:

   1. I would like the monitor to come with an isolation transformer and 
      whatever else it needs for power (i.e. no special, separate winding.)

   2. I would like to have the monitors be able to accept video inputs
      of 1V. This would allow the monitors to accept the video directly
      from a standard video palette IC like the type used in PCs. (Reducing
      the video levels might also reduce emissions.)

   3. I would like monitors that operate from medium speed (25KHz Horizontal,
      60 Hz Vertical).

   4. I would like monitors that operate at VGA format and speed (640x480, 
      non-interlaced). If they can produce a 19" VGA Monitor for a reasonable 
      cost they will sell zillions. Currently, 19" VGA monitors sell for 
      thousands of dollars.
