I am getting ready to buy my first VGA monitor.  Looking through the
June _Computer_Shopper_, I was getting ready to settle on a Goldstar
1450+ 800x600 for $299.95.  I don't want an interlaced 1024x768, and
the non-interlaced ones were too much.  Then I saw an add featuring
a Weico 1024x768 non-interlaced monitor with .28 DP for $299.  Does
anyone have one of these?  I was very tempted to get this but I am
not sure, so I am looking for advice.  If anyone has either of these
or would like to suggest an alternative, please send e-mail.  I do
not want to go very much over the price of the monitors I am already
considering.  If I do decide to get the Goldstar, would I be better
of getting a 1460+ interlaced 1024x768 for $315 just so I have all
major video modes supported, or is that not important (to you).

Thanks for any comments!
