MODEL # : JC-1401P3A

MODEL NAME: MultiSync (Original)

Question:  Can I use my JC-1401P3A on a VGA video card?

Answer:  Yes, you can use the JC-1401P3A on a VGA card with 
         several caveats.  Please be aware that with the original NEC 
         MultiSync monitor you may experience vertical rolling with VGA 
         cards.  The reason for this is that the MultiSync (Original) was 
         introduced approximately 5 years ago, well before the VGA standard 
         existed.  The monitor has a vertical refresh rate of 60Hz, where   
         the current array of VGA cards out in the market will sometimes   
         shift their vertical refresh rate therefore creating a rolling 
         effect of the image on screen.  VGA cards that maintain a 60Hz 
         refresh rate will not encounter this problem.  VGA cards from 
         Paradise are highly recommended because they already incorporate a 
         switch that will hardware set the card for 60Hz.  Also considering 
         that the JC1401P3A was produced about 5 years ago there is no 
         auto-sizing or auto-centering feature, so the VGA image may be 
         slightly smaller and will need to have the screen size adjusted 
         from VGA text to VGA graphics modes.  All of these adjustments can 
         be made on the control panel on the top of the monitor.

         To run your VGA card with the MultiSync (JC-1401P3A) you will 
         require a 9-15 pin cable adapter.
