[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] SVGA boards and 14" monitors: Help needed.

wp@iddth.id.dk (Wiesiek Pawlowski (900415#GUEST)) (04/08/91)

Hello,

 I am about to buy a 386/33MHz system and I have a real problem with the 
choice of the SVGA monitor. Every manufacturer claims that his product is 
the best one and for the least price. I've tried to approach the problem in 
a "scientific" way - sending a lot of faxes and trying to compare speci-
fications. Unfortunately I am getting lost with this. I am sorry to bother
you with my problems but please help me. I would like to buy a noninterlaced
14" monitor for not more than $700. Do you have any impressions about the
following monitors:

    - Sony 1304HG
    - Seiko 1450
    - Matsushita ViewSonic 5 (does it have the same Trinitron gun as Sony?)
    - Gateway 2000 Crystal Scan 1024NI
     
Do you have any other good recommendations?

Any comments on SVGA 1024x768 (1MB) boards are very much welcome as well.
Currently I am considering the following options:

     - Orchid ProDesigner II
     - ATI VGA Wonder+
     - Gateway 2000' Diamond Speedstar
     - Trident 8900
     - Boca SVGA

Do you know about any other good boards?

Please help me. I am from Poland and I am lost at the American Computer
Market.

Please respond by email.
I will post a summary.
