   The Feb. 88 issue of Byte had an article reviewing Multiscan monitors.
   Though they don't like to say anything bad,  the Sony didn't fare too
   well.  It has a mechanical relay that makes a lot of noise when you
   change video modes.

   Personally, I've just gone to EGA and have had problems finding a decent
   monitor.

   The TAXAN looked very good, but the one I got was defective (Red would
   flicker on and off).  When my dealer tried to replace it, he was unable
   to find one that was not defective in some way - apparently they've got
   real troubles with quality control.

   We then tried Thomson.  It has (a) the same annoying noisy relay as the
   Sony, and (b) highly unstable display under certain combinations of
   color and text - try the PROCOMM help screen, for instance.

   I currently have a NEC MultiSync II on order.
