I just finished shopping for a monitor/receiver.  In the course of my
search, I looked at and checked into all the Proton monitors.  I talked
to a friend who owns the service shop many of the local Proton dealers
send their customers to.  He felt that Proton's reliability was not great
(although not terrible either) and their processing was SLOW.  He has
had some sets for 7 months waiting for parts from Proton.  I think
Proton has a good picture, but it was not the best I saw.  I did side
by side comparisons with the same source (a top Sony machine).  I finally
decide on a Hitachi CT-2000 (uses the new flat 20" tube) which sells for
the same price as the Proton 619 and I like the color and clarity better
on the Hitachi.
