According to this article, the components which make up monitors, especially EGA's, are all made by just a handful of companies. This being the case, so the argument goes, it essentially wouldn't matter whether you bought a Zenith, Magnavox, or Discount Mailorder monitor. The insides being the same, you get virtually the same quality anywhere. I may soon have to replace my monitor, and would be curious to know whether anyone else has heard or read anything like this.
