I've heard many good things about the NEC 5FG if one wants a 17 inch
monitor, but the MAG MX17F prices at a couple hundred dollars less!
Anyone out there with real life experience with MAG monitors, in general,
and the MAG 17", in particular?

Specs for both (as listed in the USA*FLEX advertisement in 1993 Feb
_Computer Shopper_):


MAG MX17F:
	26mm dot pitch
	120 MHz Max. bandwidth
	68K Hz horizontal
	120 Hz vertical scan frequencies 
	(??? comes with tilt and swivel base ???)

NEC 5FG:
	28mm dot pitch
	135 MHz Max. bandwidth
	?? KHz horizontal
	?? Hz vertical scan frequencies 
	(comes with tilt and swivel base)

Thanks to all
