Let me echo this.  I found out be experience that you really have to SEE
it with your _own_ eyes to know if it will work for you.  I bought a NEC
MacSync after some other raved about it (and the price was great).
After a weeks use, I found myself squinting and generally not being able
to focus properly.  The monitor had a definite blur to it, one that I
could not correct with any combination of brightness or contrast.  I
sent it back.

My Seiko CM1445C works great.
