I'm not sure of the make or model, but its got 4 coax plugs on the back, and is fairly old. Mid 80's I'd guess. When I hooked the monitor up to my laptop, I had sync problems. The text appeared, but did a solid vertical roll. No playing with vhold could get it to settle down. So, do I need a special video card? or will a video card more powerful than the one in my laptop be able to sync this monitor? -=- Matthew L.
