Subject: You got Sumsang 17" SVGA monitor?? (RE: Goldstar 16" SVGA monitor)

Hear ye, hear ye, all you great computer professionals of netland, with 
all your expensive 33MHz's, 486's, 8meg RAM's, 200MB hard drive's, 
and laser printers, doesn't anybody own a 16" or 17" under $1000 monitor???

Well, since my request post for Goldstar 16" SVGA monitor, I received
only one piece of maybe-info, but many request for the same info, so I am
posting this.  The maybe-info is that the Goldstar Monitor is said to
not support 800x600 (thanks to sayer).  However that doesn't really
concern me as I only want a 16" monitor to play games at 320x200x256.
So, if no one has the Goldstar 16" ($623), maybe somebody has the
Sumsang 17" SVGA (about $880 from USA FLEX), or the $1,399 20" SVGA
monitor (I forgot what brand) advertized and wrote-up in
Computer Shoppers.  Anybody care to share their experiences?
There are at least 5 of us in netland that really want to know.

Also, during last summer I had a REAL job involved programming 
infront of a 19" color monitor of a Sparc 1+ for 8 hours a day.
After each day, I find myself quite unusually exhausted, which I think is
from looking at the 19" screen 2 feet away for that long.  Before that,
I looked at 14" screen for years and for longer hours each day, yet
I don't get that tire.  Anybody's got the same experience? 

Thanks in advance.
