Is the Sony Multiscan HG monitor (reviewed in the April 10 1990 issue of
PC Magazine [vol 9 no 7 p 97-183]) the same as the Sony CPD-1304 monitor?

(The review appears as part of an comparison of several 1024x768
non-interlaced monitors and display adapter cards.  Good reading.
The Multiscan HG was an Editor's Choice.  New CPD-1304s go for $650-750.)

   I have been thinking about getting the Sony 1304.  I call information 
1-(800)555-1212 and got there 800 number.  I called Sony and asked for some 
information.  They sent me so flieres and the Sony 1304 is printed on the
flier like this. "Multiscan HG 14" CPD-1304 Trinitron (R) Color Computer
Monitor".  I looked to see if there were any other monitors the the
words Multiscan HG and couldn't find any.

   I'm going out and get this magazine today.  This is just the review I
have been looking for.  Does anyone have any suggestion on monitor card
I should buy for this monitor?

   In the April Computer Shopper, I saw a price of $625 on page 194 for 
this monitor.  On page 539,543,667 for $629.
