[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Perhaps a good buy

I think it's time to change the subject since it's no longer relevant anymore.

Below is a 14" monitor from Acer American Corporation that I found very 
appealing:

Spec follows:

14" 0.26mm dot pitch, nonglare, sillica coated screen.
Trinitron CRT (patterned by Sony)
Horizontal Sync range: 30 Khz to 55 Khz  (note this is far better than 
                                          the SONY 1304 HG original)
Vertical Sync range: 45Hz to 90 Hz
Compatible with VGA, SVGA, Mac II, 8514A and XGA standards

Weight 28.7 lb
Physical dimensions 13.4"(h) x 14" (w) x 16.1" (d)
Regulatory approvals:

FCC-B, UL, CSA, DHHS.

I have no affliation with Acer whatsoever, I post this purely for info.

Yes, I have tested it.  And it's fine with me.  The only drawback is that
the case construction is not as sturdy as the original (SONY) but picture
quality-wise, it's even better then the already good thing.

An welcomed addition to desktop monitors perhapes.

From what I know, the street price should be around $510 or so.
