Teletran1 posted an HP VS15 working with the MPC3000
VGA output... but of course most of us have had no
luck other than using older IBM CRTs (eg. the 8315)

Does the entire HP VS-series work (VS15, VS17, VS19)?

Anyone else have an LCD monitor connected to their 3K?

If you get a chance to get the model number let me know please(!)

The one Teletran1 posted is the VS15 but there are larger-size
models like the VS17 and VS19 that I'd prefer. But I may not
have the chance to try it beforehand...(yeah, I know, silly).

I'm hoping your buddy has the VS19 or something...

Ok, VS15 so far is the only confirmed one.. possibly your buddy has the same one.

Does someone have a maintenance manual for the 3000 that lists the video spec for the IB-CRT option?

In the files section of the MPC3000 yahoo group.

Hey mikedean, cool pic. Yeah, the viewsonic model # would be good too (I prefer viewsonic to hp). Thanks.

Its a VA550. The only drawback is you have to manually align the screen, no auto sync
