Hi: Does anyone has experience with Seiko 1440 SuperVGA monitor? I would like to get some opinions on this monitor. Please e-mail or post your response; thank you in advance.

It uses a Sony Trinitron tube which is cylindrical instead of the standard spherical tube. This gives it a "Flat screen" appearance without glare problems. I find that the black-level of the monitor is better than any other that I have seen, especially compared to the IBM grey. If you plan to use 1024xs768 resolution, I would suggest that you spend the extra $50-$100 to get the CM-1450 which runs in non-interlaced mode in that resolution. A few other monitors use the same tube, Sony (of course) makes a very similar type monitor, and a company called Optiquest. Basically, if you see any monitor reviews, and they mention a .25 mm dot pitch, you can bet that it uses the same tube. If you're looking for a lower cost alternative, you may look at the new Panasonic tube monitors, including ViewSonic. These are nice looking tubes for the price. I like the first suggestion best, however, the 1440 and 1450 by Seiko are the best I have used in a long time. You won't regret it. Jim Braun jbraun@ksuvm.ksu.edu
