1302 goes down to 15KHz, 1304 doesn't. Seiko similarly, but I forgot the model.

instead of going down more, new ones go up more, like the 1304, to work with
the non-interlaced 1024x768 mode on IBM compatible video board.

>Is there much difference in quality between the Sony and Seiko monitors?
you have to hook up a computer, and look carefully before you buy it anyway.
they are all very good, but I think a little diff.

not as bright in color, nor in dot-pitch. but have memory and auto sizing
control, not cylindrical screen, big side border not to be filled.

check for bented corners, especially on upper right hand corner, most bent
under overscan signal (even nothing is display /not using overscan, but
the signal is, and the background color is).

I prefer Sony/Trinitron tube ones.
