Lechmere Sales in the Greendale Mall in Worcester (Mass USA) had
as of 4PM on Saturday October 29th an SC1224 Color Monitor that
they had priced at $249.
I have just purchased a used SC1224 and found that they are hard
to find at any price.

249$ ? That's half the price I can get!
Just curious, what are the official prices in US, UK, Germany and
Holland ? Any other best buy price ?
I'm looking for a good color monitor, and the SC1224 is really the
best I've seen at an affordable price.

| 282.2 | just for interest | COMICS::DSMMGR | Thu Nov 03 1988 13:38 | 29 | |
Just for interest, I have recently bought a new SC1224 at 179 pounds
sterling which seems to be about as cheap as you can get them in
the UK. I find the monitor great with a few strings attached. If
the screen is blanked white, the flicker is quite an eyestrain,
this to the degree that I have installed a CONTROL.ACC on all my
disks that gives me a black backgroud, white text, and a blue-grey
desktop. This I find a very effective colour combination which removes
any trace of flicker. Another point I moticed was that the contrast/
brilliance controls were somewhat limited. This is however after
being accustomed to a VT220 which when cranked up to 10 will give
of an alarming radioactive glow !!!
Medium res is the biz !! Using a TV as I did before, medium res
was not entirely practical, eyestrain being the usual result, but
now, with my SC1224, gone forever are the days where SHOWING text
files would result in pages streaming of the screen at lightning
speed before one is able to read them. Wonderful.
To get to the end of it all, and to let you good people get on with
your lives, 179 pounds is a lot of money to find in one lump, but
I have not been disappointed bar the flicker !!!

Buy now, ^ ^ !WHEW... its nice !
O O !to be up the right !

Re: .2
The line frequency in the U.K. is 50Hz vs. 60Hz in the U.S. 50Hz
will show more flicker than 60Hz. I guess their has to be some
penalty for living in Europe! :-)

No penalty for Europeans, Dave. There are some programs, that change
the line frequency from 50 to 60 Hz, and they even work for non-americans.

Whoops !!!
The old typo error has struck again.
Sorry if I got your hopes up folks but it was 279 sterling for an
SC1224 and NOT 179.
My regrets for the mistake :-(
