Nor have I actually seen either monitor (I'm looking for a local vendor so I can take a look at them). I'd appreciate answers from the net on a few questions before I shell out my money. Does anyone know the bandwidth (MHz) on either of these monitors? Does anyone know the *actual* diagonal measurement of the screen image? Does anyone know anything about the reliability of either monitor? Has anyone seen either or both of these? What was your subjective opinion? I'll post a summary of all replies. Thanks! --Jeff
