I have been ogling them for some months as the very best color monitors I have seen so far in the IBM PC world. They are the only ones I have seen, other than the old Atari monitor, that I would not mind using for word processing for long periods. Most RGB monitors that I had seen previously left me with the feeling that I needed new glasses. I am quite willing to believe that the Princeton Graphics and/or Sony monitors (their best, anyway) would be similar in performance. I have not seen them, however. I think I just decided that when I buy my ST it will be a monochrome system, with one of these other monitors. I especially like the sound of the NEC with the switch to fool the ST into going into monochrome, hi-res mode. Of course we are all going to be going to 1024x1024x1024 by next year, anyway, if my rumor sources are as accurate as usual. -John Sangster jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa
