Hi everyone,
Thanks to all those who responded to my message re MAG monitor.  As a result
of your advices, I took the MAG monitor back to where I got it yesterday.
The service supervisor there took a brief look and determined that the
particular monitor's "feature" was not acceptable in a normal MAG.  I       
promptly received a replacement and this one looks great!

BTW, the MAG model I got is actually a replacement model of the one reviewed
by PC Magazine.  The one I have is model no. PMV14SV.  The new model has
addressed the biggest complaints by the PC Editors, that is, all of the
controls are now in the FRONT, neatly behind a push-close-push-open panel.
So for you people out there who may be considering the MAG Super VGA Monitor,
make sure you get the NEW model!  Despite my little episode with my dealer,
I still think the MAG is a great choice, especially considering the price (I
paid $450 in Canadian dollars, which is about US$380).                   

Cheers, John
