I keep seeing the IBM 8507 19" in Computer Shopper and it seems reasonable
at about $700 or so.  I have one question:  does anyone have specs on this
beast?  Will it do 60hz vertical and 45Khz horizontal?
My local ComputerLand doesn't admit to its existance.

When you saw it, did it look ok?  Fuzzy around the corners?  wiggle?
Was the front of the tube reasonably flat?

Last but not least, does any one have a Princeton Max-15 monochrome monitor
and are you happy with it?
