Well, if you have a source of Goldstar monitor (who does not say
during order time that they are out of stock), I am sure many of us
could use it.  Goldstar was my first choice, except I called around
for 2 hours during that morning and NOBODY has stock.  I even called
the Goldstar company, but they gave me the runaround.  Even if you have
a Samsung 17" source, it would also be useful.  Against nobody
carries it the day I decided to order.  I had to "settled" for
Swan VGA15, which turns out to be a better deal in some respect as the
Goldstar and the Samsung (I especially like the flatscreen effect of
Swan VGA15, the Goldstar and Samsung does not mention anything about
flatscreen).  

I had since tried to find out who Swan OEMed the VGA15 from
but to no avail.  My guess is that it is a new design hence probably
a better design (technology-wise) than Goldstar and Samsung (whose
16" and 17" has been around for a while).  Please correct me if I am
wrong.

Also, somebody who email me yesterday was confused about using
noninterlaced program on interlaced monitor.  You cannot do that.
I am sorry I could not reply email to him because I cannot comprehen
the return email address.  In my comparison, I was comparing
1024x768x256 interlaced on a Daewood (14" interlaced $349 from HDI)
to 1024x768x256 noninterlaced on my Swan VGA15.
