Some vendors I talk too have Sony (1302 or 1304), some have Seiko (1440 or 1450). I know that Sony makes the Sieko, and the Sieko seems a bit cheaper. Do I care if I get the Sieko or the Sony. On the same subject, I can save $100 if I get the interlaced 1440. i gather the monitors are identical until I get to 1024x768 mode. Having looked at windows in hires mode the characters are clearly too small to read. Am I making a mistake getting the interlaced monitor - should I except software within a year or two that will want me to use hires noninterlaced graphics. (The machine is used for statistics and latex, I don't do cad and I don't do desktop publishing.)
