The various Atari ST display modes [18] (resolutions do not include Overscan) are:

  • Low 320x200 pixels, 50 or 60Hz vertical, 15.75kHz horizontal
  • Medium 640x200 pixels, 50 or 60Hz vertical, 15.75kHz horizontal
  • High 640x400 pixels, 71.2Hz vertical, 35.7kHz horizontal

Multisync means these screens can do all ST video modes using a single, switchable, VGA cable: [19] [20]. There also single mode mono [21] and color [22] cables available.
