Michael, I got it! Here's the scoop: First of all, it is actually 19" when I measure the diagonal, although I was told it is 20". Also, it doesn't say "Diamond Scan" anywhere, although it looks exactly like the 19" Diamond Scan I've seen at work. I've hooked it up and am using Super 72 mode (800 x 600) and after some tweeking it works great. Nice text, rich colors. I have not compared it any other monitor this size, but it looks cool to me. It comes with a one year factory warranty and this unit says manufactured in 1990 (remember it is refurbished). Here are the specs as listed in the manual: Horizontal Scan: 15.7 kHz to 38.0 kHz Vertical Scan: 45hz to 90 Hz Resolution: 1280 x 768 (this is an odd resolution; 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 1024 are more typical) DotPitch: 0.31 mm Non-Glare Screen Adjustments for Horiz and Vert size and position, plus the all important pin cusion adjustments (two of them). With MonED and some tweeking I have no black borders in Super 72 mode. I have tried it on all ECS modes and it does indeed sync to them all. I don't have a flicker fixer (OpalVision is in there) but I'm definately getting a Picasso II real soon. The only down side I've found so far is that when a 15kHz screen pops up, and I then go back to Super 72 mode, the teeking I did to eliminate the black borders is undone and I have to retweek. The adjustments are on a side panel so its not too bad. I just have to resize the vertical. MonED takes care of the horizontal. Autopilot is all I've used so far, but I can't wait to use this with Real 3D. And imagine the games! There you have it. This baby is $600 from the Video Works in CA, 510-838-1031. I am not affiliated with them at all. They shipped to the east coast for $70 (2nd Day, FedEx). Glad to answer any more questions.
