Nokia Multigraph 447za CRT Monitor

[ComputerWizKid]

I found a Nokia Multigraph 447za CRT Monitor by the garbage bin so I took it and by chance it works but I have a couple of questions
1. Anyone know where to get a user manual for this? (It seems pretty self explanatory but I just want to know the Max Resolution and max refresh rate)
2. Is this the same Nokia that now make Cell Phones and cell phone accessories?

PS. I am not going to be using this a my main Monitor (Just a spare so when I fix other peoples computer I don't have to connect the computer to my main Monitor)

Thanks

They are using the same typefont...probably the same Nokia...they do or used to make many other products.

Yes this is from cell company Nokia, I wanted on for my first PC because they offered great colors & super high refresh rates. Nokia was originally a chemical/tire company. They split off the electronics years ago. Look them up they're called Nokian.

Nokia made regular TVs too along other electronics.

Yes, Nokia used to make higher-end CRT displays for computers.

Google "Nokia MonTest" or "Nokia monitor test". It's a useful testing program for CRTs.

Put Symbian in it.

Win 7 Sp1 support this monitor natively

That takes me back. A Nokia 445Pro 21" was my last CRT before I went LCD. I actually downgraded slightly in real estate from 1600x1200 on the Nokia to 1680x1050 on my Dell 2005WFP.

I was so glad to get rid of it though. The OSD would randomly pop-up and just stay there for minutes at a time. Of course Nokia approved an RMA, but the shipping was so damn high I just decided to put the money towards a new screen.

This was back before muggles could have an account with USPS or UPS and print shipping labels from home. Nokia had sent me an empty box, so I packed it all up and brought it to the Post Office. They proceeded to weigh and measure it, and IIRC the shipping total was close to $150.

Your post actually jogged my memory a bit... I had to dust off the cob webs from my brain, but I recalled that I had to contact another company to request the RMA. Turns out that ViewSonic bought Nokia's monitor division back in 2000, which is probably why most of us don't remember Nokia displays. http://www.viewsonic.com/company/news/vs_press_release_1193.htm

Too bad they don't have the manual for your display available... http://www.viewsonic.com/support/downloads/user-guides/
