[comp.sys.ibm.pc] are there any 16-17 inch monitors ?

Does anyone make a VGA/SVGA compatible (or even multi-sync) monitor with a
screen size in the range of 16 to 17 inches?  I'd like to cut some cost over
the larger monitors since I find 19 inches to be a bit large, but 14 inches
is just tad bit too small for my liking.

There are lots. IBM 8514. Nanao 8070. NEC 4D. Mitsubishi Diamond Scan
16L.  Sony GDM-1605. Princeton Ultra-16. HP D1188A. These are all 16".
Be prepared to pay about $1,000 or more.

Also be aware that a number of Taiwanese will be offering 19 or 20"
color monitors. Tatung, Sampo, and Voltron.  I predict prices around
$1,200 or so, much less than the NEC 5D's $2,200.
