Re: Overhead View Screens

["Richard W. Tarara" <rtarara@saintmarys.edu>]

In the $2K-3K range you can now find some regular monitors (Zenith is one
supplier) from 25-35" that will handle both PC and Mac input (at least at
standard 640x480 resolution).  These can have an advantage in tight budget
situations since they can be used for VCR and LaserDisc display as well as
with the computers.  Obviously at this price, you won't get the fine dot
size and refresh rates available with pure computer monitors (where a 21"
screen can run over $2K) but for group display purposes, these will be much
better than the computer to NTSC converters.
