I realized this after sending my original message to the list.  Once I
figured out that the 135 Mhz was the pixel clock, my confusion ended.

Thanks for pointing it out.

I was looking at a couple of Samsung and several Viewsonic LCDs.  They
are all either analog only or dual DVI/Analog.  At least now I know
they'll work with the on board video in the thin clients (Via EPIA

I now know a little more about LCDs than I did before I read your

appreciate the reply, though. :)
