[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Medium size color monitors

shulman@sdr.slb.com (Jeff Shulman) (01/19/90)

I am looking for a color monitor that has more screen real estate than
the Apple 13-inch but uses up less desk space (and shear mass) than those
19-inch monsters. I also want around 72-dpi (>80 dpi does wonders when
trying to read text for extended periods of time plus it isn't
WYSIWY(almost)G.) I've narrowed my choices down to the E-Machines T15
(uses the Zenith flat page display) and the E-Machines T16 (uses the
Sony 16 inch monitor.) As far as "price per pixel" is concerned the
T15 is a *much* better value.

The T16 was voted as the best display by MacUser but the T15 wasn't
around then. When I saw the T15 (briefly) I wasn't in the market for a
display so I didn't pay close attention to its quality.

Right now 24-bit color isn't important (8-bit *is*) and I've heard the
E-Machines is working on such a card that I can trade up to (getting
full value for the 8-bit card).

So, I'd like to hear good/bad opinions of each as well as possible other
contenders that fit my criteria
