[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Seiko Color Monitor?

rlwald@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Robert L. Wald) (09/20/90)

  Does anyone have the Seiko color monitor or has anyone heard about
it? It is cheaper than the apple, but a trinitron. The ads claim that
its brighter and the person I spoke to said that it was a more recent
trinitron. It also comes with the cable and tilt/swivel. Is it
any good?  (Its $100 less than the Apple at educational prices)

THanks

I have seen the Seiko monitor at a local Mac dealer, and I must say that it 
looked darned good.  I would say the picture was about as good as the Apple 
Color Monitor.  However, I brought up a program which had some blue lines in 
it, and they fairly jumped off the screen!  I guess Seiko isn't kidding when 
it says it has brighter colors - I saw them, and agree.
 
I personally have a Sony CPD-1304/HG monitor, and I am VERY happy with it. 
It is also cheaper than the Apple monitor (around $650 discounted), and is 
multiscanning and has a nice etched non-glare surface.  It has no convergence 
controls, however.
