BS>>but at 1152x900@76Hz (SUN console), I seriously _doubt_ this is
noticeable.

I didn't realize it ran that low a resolution. My old HP/UX box ran 1792 x
1344 @85Hz on a 21" display. Lots of 'em run 1600x1280 @100Hz.

But don't underestimate how poorly build some of that stuff is. I've seen
issues at 1024x768 @60Hz. Even with short BNC/DB-15 cables.

Yes, SUN13W3 video is better for reduced cross-talk.
but at 1152x900@76Hz (SUN console), I seriously _doubt_ this is noticable.

Furthermore, using a 3/4/5 BNC monitor to SUN13W3 is another option.
I have done this several times for higher resolutions (like high-end
workstations).
