Taking a look at the first Multisync monitor! Not only from NEC but the first one at retail in general, possibly. Introduced in 1985, the JC-1401P3A is ideal for vintage IBM PC compatible computers, but also the Amiga, Macintosh, PC-98 etc! Displays all standard graphics modes, most nonstandard ones, and horizontal sync rates of 15khz, 24khz, 31khz and beyond.
