[comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware] IBM Model 8515 Monitor - Any good?

Jim Gerlach <GERLACHJ@QUCDN.QueensU.CA> (01/21/91)

As I currently have a sick IBM Model 8513 monitor (see list) I may need a
replacement. Since I can get a relatively good price on an IBM Model 8515
through Queen's University ($710 CDN) I may be considering this monitor. Any
comments or experiences? Any suggestions for other monitors? The new monitor
would probably go on an IBM PS/2 50Z and will run plain vanilla VGA. I am
thinking of the future interms of a replacement (XGA?).

Thanx in advance for your suggestions.

Jim

I would like to know how the IBM 8515 compares with the NEC 3D and
the Sony /Seiko trinitron.  Which one is sharper ?  Which one is
best on the eyes ?  (It will be used mostly for VGA, not 1024x768).

Also, IBM claims that the 8515 has Very Low Magnetic Emission (or
something similar, I don't recall exactly), conforming to Swedish
standard.  Is this correct, and is it indeed something to care
about ?

Thanx.
