useful in applications that need good-looking graphics, or higher resolution text, though they are limited in the number of colors that can be displayed at a given time. If you are going to be using software that requires color, but not high resolution graphics, you should use an RGB video display monitor, connected to a CGA video controller board. If your software requires high resolution graphics, use an EGA controller board instead.
Multi-sync:
Multi-sync monitors are so named because they are able to adjust themselves to any standard video format. Providing resolutions up to 1400 x 1200, multi-sync video monitors are used with software that needs very high resolution color graphics. Connecting your computer to a multi-sync monitor by way of either an EGA or VGA controller board provides one of the highest resolution computer video systems available. This type of system is used for such applications as very high resolution CAD/CAE workstations, computer graphics design and desktop publishing.
