Generally if things are asked to operate outside their bandwidth the signal attenuates towards nothing. It would be a badly designed circuit that reacted to this by getting hot and letting out the magic smoke. >assuming your monitor has no built in protection. What is not being protected in this instance, and do any recent monitors lack this protection? This is what I doubt. The only CRT I have left is an old Iiyama which definitely tells me if things are too much for its creaking old bones... and has all its magic smoke intact. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/r01qjKeDCxMJCTIRAjSFAJ0VrSiyxzVxhGKaeswYXWPS0j9a2gCaA3vH GXhg8WGQoecSm8ae0SnxK5Q= =UFPP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
