- I have a PanaSync C1391 hooked up to my A4000 right now. I was using it
- with a 2000 for about 2.5 years before I got my 4000. Now I use the
- 640x480 productivity mode and haven't noticed any brightness problems.
-
- It works in most modes but here are a few problems I've noticed:
-
- - doesn't seem to like the VGAonly monitor. when i use this the top
- 7 or 8 scan lines are all messed up - they curve way to the right
- and destort the top of the screen (well, destort those lines only).
-
- - those same top rows of pixels seem really picky even without the
- VGAonly thing. when i first turn on the monitor they are bent a
- bit to the right. you can adjust the centering of the screen
- (the monitor adjustment, not prefs) and make it look better, but
- as the monitor warms up they straighen up so you end up adjusting
- the horizontal centering a lot. this bend is nearly as bad as
- with VGAonly but it's annoying.
-
- - some of the other modes, like Super72, don't look too good. they
- seem to lose some scan lines or something, like the monitor can't
- handle the resolution.
-
- I may replace it if something nice comes along with a good price. I can't
- believe that price above! I paid $470 a couple of years ago. Sure that
- price up there is right? That is too much.
-
- I suppose it is possibile that the monitor has changed since I got mine, or
- mine acts different than some others. If anyone else has experience with
- this monitor please speak up!
