Multisync monitor

<p>A multiple-sync (multisync) monitor, also known as a multiscan or multimode monitor, is a <a href="/facts/Raster_scan/wl7UBw02">raster-scan</a> <a href="/facts/Analog_device/KPAmXS1r">analog</a> video <a href="/facts/Computer_display/NRaTDFHc">monitor</a> that can properly <a href="/facts/Synchronization/L39sYwbr">synchronise</a> with multiple <a href="/facts/Horizontal_scan_rate/VdUepaA5">horizontal</a> and <a href="/facts/Analog_television/4NJJew1c">vertical</a> <a href="/facts/Vertical_scan_rate/7mGJs7Dz">scan rates</a>. In contrast, fixed frequency monitors can only synchronise with a specific set of scan rates. They are generally used for computer displays, but sometimes for television, and the terminology is mostly applied to <a href="/facts/Cathode-ray_tube/8NVGx5C7">CRT displays</a> although the concept applies to other technologies.
</p><p>Multiscan computer monitors appeared during the mid 1980s, offering flexibility as computer video hardware shifted from producing a single fixed scan rate to multiple possible scan rates. "MultiSync" specifically was a trademark of one of <a href="/facts/NEC/YnlUsMBA">NEC's</a> first multiple-sync monitors.
