Somebody's collecting this stuff. I lost the URL, but I should follow up. In general, I have to settle for 1024x768, since most laptops won't go any higher, and that's pretty straightforward. About the only thing I have to tweak is the horizontal frequency. Just about any monitor will do 36 kHz, and that's enough for 1024x768 in interlace mode. Greg
