modern monitor resolution question

[dschallock]

I use a picasso IV for both my RTG screenmodes and also to pass through my standard amiga screen modes for games and older software that won't promote.  Currently I have it plugged into the LED TV set because it seems to support my standard RTG mode of 1024x768x16bit and it will also do 640x480 and even 320x200.  All of this via the RGB (PC) plug in on the TV set.  So this works great, but I want to get a monitor for my amiga and not always have it plugged into the TV set.  I tried plugging my LED PC monitor into it and it says it is an unsupported screen mode. it wants everything to be in the one resolution the monitor wants. 1920x1200 or something... can't remember.
Anyway, when shopping monitors on Amazon they are quick to tell you what resolution they support up to, but they don't mention if they can go down to 320x200.  Does anyone know of a good modern monitor choice for set up like mine?  How are others dealing with these issues?
Thanks!

That is a very good point Thomas that I hadn't considered.  I will check into this. Thank you!

I strongly doubt this. If this was true, you wouldn't be able to enter the BIOS of a PC or install Windows on it.

I rather think it has a discrete set of resolutions it supports. I am quite sure that 640x400, 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 are among them.

Another problem could be the repeating frequency. While on CRTs you tend to use high frequencies like 90Hz or higher, most TFTs work best with 60Hz and might not accept anything above 75Hz.

In either case what you have to do is to check the monitor's manual for the supported modes and frequencies and use the Picasso96Mode program on the Amiga to adjust your screenmodes to these frequencies.
