Bill D. of NJ  "I received your cable today."  One of Bests ST Multi Sync adapter cable to Multi Sync Tube and LCD Monitors, to replace the standard Atari made ST Monitors   "I'm very excited for a few reasons, but first I wanted to thank you very much for your speedy ordering and delivery process.  But I'm doubly excited, because when I connected this to my Coby LCD TV-TF1514 color TV with VGA inputs, it appears it can natively handle ALL the ST resolutions WITHOUT a converter box!  I just plugged the cable in, and figured I could at least test the monochrome part of it, since I know that is basically at the same scan rate as VGA, but to my surprise, I saw color in ST Medium mode, rather than monochrome ST High mode. I tested all three resolutions and they all work!"
