[rescue] Old Monitors

[CLIFFORD HAIGHT]

Yes, only older models though.    Also the screen doesn't center automatically
properly, so you need to use the manual controls.   They accept composite,
video, dvi and vga.    They are pretty power hungry for even a LCD of the time
and where considered gaming monitors for there time.  They also don't power
save so you need to make sure turn them off and the get pretty warm as well.
I have two of them myself but prefer to use CRTs

Do those Dell monitors work on 15KHz input? Ibve needed something that can
do that in order to get color output from my Atari ST.
