:The latter two were on vaxstation 3100/30 and 40 systems.

   GPX: 1024 x 864 at  60 Hz
   SPX: 1280 x 1024 at 66 Hz, and 1024 x 864 at 60 Hz

   The VRT19 would tend to indicate you have at least one SPX
   controller.  The VR290 and VR299 would tend to indicate GPX
   controllers.

:My question is, will the new VRCX1-KA DEC monitors work on the
:vaxstation 3100/30/40?  I believe the new monitor is compatible
:with the VRT-19-HA which is not being made any longer.

   The VRCX1 is a multi-synch, supporting resolutions from VGA up
   through to 1600 x 1200 at 75HZ, and it supports the BNC and
   synch-on-green connections necessary for the VAXstation 3100.
   I would expect this monitor to work on a variety of DIGITAL
   workstations...

:I was quoted $798 exchange price on the VRCX1-KA monitor.  Is there any
:wisdom on the net about alternatives and their quality compared to the
:DEC monitor?

   I would expect this VRCX1-series monitor to work, but I do not
   have a VAXstation 3100 series box handy to actually confirm this.
   (Obviously, you will want to make sure you can return it, should
   you encounter any problems.)

   I regularly use a variant of this monitor on an AlphaStation.
   The display is quite sharp, and I have had no problems over the
   few months I've been using...
