Choosing a Monitor

There are a few things to consider before you choose a monitor. To determine whether a given monitor works with your Amiga, you must compare the specifications of the monitor you are considering against the scan rates listed starting on page 7-6. If the monitor accepts the scan rate of the monitor driver listed, the monitor should work with the display modes the monitor driver provides.

In practice, it is unusual to find a monitor that can display all of the Amiga's display modes. However, there is really no need to do so. Many modes have similar resolutions and differ only in their scan rates. The large number of video modes with different scan rates allows you the flexibility to use any of various types of monitors that are available to you.
