At present I am looking at my 14'' black/white EMC monitor, using 640x480
resolution. I also have a (sort-of) working 872x600 resolution, and
a good 1040x568 resolution. The booklet says it does a 1024x768 fine, and 
I guess it could even do better.

However, on a 14''-er, the higher resolutions give letters so small that 
they can hardly be read, so normally I use 640x480 which is fine for
general purpose. Yet higher resolution do work.

I paid f 350 (~US$200) for it.

Met vriendelijke groeten, Wim `Blue Baron' van Dorst
