I am in the market for a new monitor, and was planning to buy a Sony
1304 (Multi-scan HG), but my cash flow got pinched unexpectedly, so
now I have to set my sights a little lower.

Flipping through the latest issue of Computer Shopper, I notice that
Panasonic makes a monitor (Panasonic 1381) which seems to be identical
to the Mitsubishi Diamond Scan (also model # 1381).  Are they in fact
the same machine?

Also, does anyone know if the beasty is any good?  How does it fare on
color reproduction, contrast, resolution etc...Most to the point, I
suppose, is this: is it worth the $389 price I ferreted out of the
magazine?  That's a nice 'n' cheap price tag, so it looks appealing!
