not rallly a problem, but would appreciate info i have an older monitor
i got from a friend and it was used to her It's a CTX  cvp-5468a how old
is this thing?, how high a resolution can it handle? looked on the
web couldnt find any info, nothing available on the CTX site either

Per http://www.monitorservice.com/board/messages/191.html

"This monitor's date of manufacture is stamped on
one of the labels.
I find the older ctx monitors great but the
newer units have a poor picture tube and a 2 year
life expectancy. The older models had a Phillips
picture tube which lasted for an average of 6 to 7 years.
and also had an excellent picture.
The drivers as I have repeatedly told folks was a
Microsoft idea that was not met with much enthusiasm
from an industry so plagued with competition and price cuts
that I have yet to find a manufactuer supplied driver.!"

Other posts I found (I found two ads for this monitor for sale) with the
CVP-5468 designation indicated it's a VGA monitor.

Hope this at least, is useful.
