I'm geting ready to buy my IIgs and am trying to decide on which
monitor I want. In the past there have been people advocating the
Sony KV1311 over the Apple because it has a larger screen and a
tuner so it can be used to view TV broadcasts. (Lower price was
also mentioned, however, I think mail order Apple probably beats
the Sony at this time.) All of these people have said they like the
KV1311 better than the Apple.

On the other hand, I have a friend who is also researching the
issue and he says that on the two KV1311's he has seen in use on a
IIgs there is a definite "bowing" effect visible when straight
lines are displayed close to the top or bottom of the screen. He
has never seen the same effect on Apple monitors.

In addition, he and others have talked up the NEC Multisync as the
best monitor for the money (It is a more than either of the above
from what I hear). Is there anyone out there in net land that has
had experience with the NEC and the IIgs? If so, I would like to
hear from you.

As an aside, the IBM net mentiones that there are at least three
NEC Multisynch monitors available. Furthermore, I gather that the
original (Multisynch I) leaves much to be desired when used with
some brands of computers.
