Did you want pointers to magazine reviews or just people's opinions?
I have a CM-1430 and it is the best product I've ever seen in that size.
I like to run Microsoft Excel and it seems to be the most demanding
application I've seen, maybe because it uses a white background.
Yesterday the engineer next door and I compared the Seiko to a Nanao
8060 and the Seiko had an obviously much better picture as well as
having much less glare thanks to the vertically flat Trinitron tube.

I've seen a price of $488 for the Seiko from a place out of San Leandro.
