Message-ID: Date: 8 Apr 91 13:23:40 GMT Sender: news@ideal.id.dk (Nick Sandru (news adm)) Organization: Dept. of Computer Science Lines: 47 Nntp-Posting-Host: iddth2 Hello, I am about to buy a 386/33MHz system and I have a real problem with the choice of the SVGA monitor. Every manufacturer claims that his product is the best one and for the least price. I've tried to approach the problem in a "scientific" way - sending a lot of faxes and trying to compare speci- fications. Unfortunately I am getting lost with this. I am sorry to bother you with my problems but please help me. I would like to buy a noninterlaced 14" monitor for not more than $700. Do you have any impressions about the following monitors: - Sony 1304HG - Seiko 1450 - Matsushita ViewSonic 5 (does it have the same Trinitron gun as Sony?) - Gateway 2000 Crystal Scan 1024NI Do you have any other good recommendations? Any comments on SVGA 1024x768 (1MB) boards are very much welcome as well. Currently I am considering the following options: - Orchid ProDesigner II - ATI VGA Wonder+ - Gateway 2000' Diamond Speedstar - Trident 8900 - Boca SVGA Do you know about any other good boards? Please help me. I am from Poland and I am lost at the American Computer Market. Please respond by email. I will post a summary. ======================================================================== Wiesiek Pawlowski | wp@id.dth.dk | temporarily: | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Department of Computer Science Building 344 & 345 Technical University of Denmark DK-2800 Lyngby DENMARK ========================================================================
