Most Atari ST owners do not know that there is a group of Multi Sync
Monitors that will work on the Atari 520ST/ 520STFM/ 1040ST/ 1040STE/ Mega 1-
4/Stacy/MegaSTE Atari Computers! Why a Multi Sync Monitor on an Atari computer you ask?
Here is a short list of reasons why you should consider using The Best Custom made ST Multi Sync monitor adapter cable with a Multi Sync Monitor on your ST computer:
CB102582-6 $39.95
1. On Most Multi Sync Monitors (on the List below) you will get Three Atari ST Monitor Screen Resolutions, Low color, Medium color and High Resolution Monochrome on the same monitor!
2. In most cases (but not all), depending on the Multi Sync Monitor screen size you will get a larger Monitor Display (than Stock Atari ST Monitors) but usually not full screen size (in Monochrome mode).
3. Dot Pitch (quality of the Display) on most of the Multi Sync Monitors is usually Better than the Stock Atari ST monitors.
4. Using a standard Monitor switch box, you could even connect up a second PC based computer and have it work on the same Multi Sync Monitor.
5. Most of the Multi Sync Monitor brands and Models listed below have been around for a little while, and can usually be picked up at
Bargain Prices at Local Shops/PC dealers/Surplus houses.John D. of CA "I hooked the Mega 2 to a 21 inch Superscan Pro 21 Hitachi monitor and Hi Rez works great. I never thought I would see a Atari screen on a 21 Inch Monitor. Neat cable"
6. Many of the Multi Sync Monitor Brands and Models listed below were shipped all around the world and Set up for each countries different Operating Voltages (110/220/240 Volt). It is a lot cheaper cost wise, to ship the Best Multi Sync ST Monitor Adapter cable across the US or World Wide, than ship a complete ST Monitor. Also there is less of a chance of a shipper damaging a cable assembly compared to a complete boxed ST Monitor.
7. Atari Midi users, looking for Mono chrome replacement Monitor for your Atari SM124 or Atari SM147 dying Monitor? Most of the current Modern Multi Sync Monitors on the Market today will work in ST Mono chrome mode only (Color vs Mono chrome display mode, push button in the up position on the cable assembly) with our ST Multi Sync Monitor adapter cable. Just double check your New Multi Sync Monitor Owners Manual sync range (typical modern Multi Sync monitor range: Horizontal Frequency 20 - 36 kHz, Typical Vertical range: 50 - 90 Hz) The ST Mono chrome Display requirements: 35.7 kHz Horizontal and 71.2 Hz Vertical Frequency's.
8. Because most Multi Sync Monitors on the market do not have Audio in and out features, the Best ST Multi Sync monitor adapter cable, includes one RCA male audio cable, so you can connect this ST audio out cable to an amplified Speaker to hear the normal ST Key clicks and other normal ST sounds.
Here is the current list of Multi Sync Monitors that will work with the Best Electronics CB102582-3 or CB102582-6 Custom Made Multi Sync Monitor adapter cable. If by chance you Do Not find a Multi Sync Monitor on the List below you can use or find locally, check the product information below on the Required Multi Sync Monitor Electrical Specifications. If you find another brand or Model that will work on Atari ST computers please let us know and we will add it to the list.
