I am considering getting a color monitor for my se/30. I know that there is the apple 13" hi-res RGB and the Seiko cm1445 14" monitors on the market. I think the Seiko is a bit cheaper. Question: Can someone familiar with both monitors offer some recommendation? or care to suggest another alternative. And where is the cheapest mail-order place ? I saw an ad on Feb issue of MacWorld from Bottomline. they have both monitors at $545. Has anyone have experience with them? (they charge $2/min for the phone). Thanks. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Abraxas@rpi.edu

As far as I can tell, there is no difference in how they look, understandably so since they both use the same Sony tube. The Seiko comes with a stand, included in the listed price, whereas Apple's stand is separate. Other differences include the fact that MaxAppleZoom, the INIT that lets one use the whole screen area does not work with the Seiko, and the fact that Apple's monitor will work in an 220V environment whereas the Seiko won't (at least the one I have doesn't say it would). I am very happy with my Seiko monitor and had never had any problems. I mostly leave it on, as well as the Apple monitor. -- ============================================================================= Arie Covrigaru | Internet: arie@eecs.umich.edu University of Michigan AI Lab | 1101 Beal Ave., Ann Arbor, MI 48109 =============================================================================

I have used MaxAppleZoom V1.3 with my Sony 1304HG monitor and it works as advertised. However, since the Sony 1304 (and probably others) has external controls which let you expand the image size there is no need to use MAZ. By the way, the best price I've seen on the Sony 1304HG was $620 which includes the cable, from ARGO Computers. (See any Computer Shopper Mag.) The 1304HG includes a built-in monitor stand. I'm running mine on a IIci with the onboard video. (I borrowed a 8-bit card to test MAZ V1.3) Matt

I think you miss the point-- MaxAppleZoom gives you more pixels, not just a bigger image. -- Matthew T.
