Fixed freq. workstation monitor, used for Sun, old SGI, etc. I have the
specs from mine:

Max res: 1280x1024_at_60Hz
Vfreq: 59.90Hz
Hfreq: 63.34KHz

There are adapters available to use these things with PC's and MACs too,
but I guess if it's been dropped, well...

I got mine for $45 and it's OK. A little fuzzy and one corner is starting
to fade. I spent $35 on a 13W3=>DB15 converter and am much happier using
my 17" NEC Multisync on my Sparc 5.
