I could bring a Sony PVM to workshop if you want to test it. On Thursday, January 28, 2016, Devin Heitmueller via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I find I have given away all of my hi-res VGA displays from the 486 era. I would be willing to trade something of equal value to anyone going to the workshop this weekend. I will be there all day Saturday, from 11AM until 10/11 PM-ish
I need something compatible with this card:

Ooooh, VESA Local Bus. Haven't seen that in a while. :-)

I have a Dell SuperVGA display, but I don't know if it's really able to take full advantage of my video card. I put a new Dell display on it, that works like it should but it's not vintage. Suggestions welcome but I prefer something from 1993-94 if possible to keep the system and display within the same time frame.
Believe it or not, some new displays are not able to match the hz of this video card, it's not just a simple any old VGA card.
Do you know what the scan rate of the card is? I would be surprised if it really isn't supported by modern displays - it's more likely an issue where the card/OS didn't yet support EDID enumeration and you have to configure the output manually.
