Thanks, Rock... I think my final choice will be the 10.4" Marshall TFT. It's got 900 lines, 800 X 600 dots (1.44 million RGB pixels) and can feed either...
Hi Mike, I've been trialling different options and for what it's worth, my experience may be of use to you. I have Mallincam Hyper colour, about 1 yr old. A...

Hi Mike, What model of Marshall Monitor have you been looking at? Based on your comments I've started to check around but there seems to be quite a variety...
Hi jp8178, You are right. With the MCH Color, the galaxies were visible but with a 15% reduction in image brightness of the object seen live on the screen....
