If U R interested in specific monitors, then check out the IDEK 17inch
that sells in the US for under $1000 (I won't tell you that it cost more
than my A4000/030 in Australia :-$ ).
I have been using a 17 inch IDEK for several months with no problems. In
fact I prefer it to the 20 inch (Re badged Sony I think) that I use at
work. The IDEK scans down to 15.0 to allow display of pre-AGA graphics
and scans up to 40 something KHz to handle the DBLPAL non interlaced
screens.
IMHO. When you buy your monitor make sure a trained technician expands the
usable screen area (if necessary) so that a overscan mode screen fills the
entire screen. My IDEK has 0 mm (approx) at the sides and a couple of mm
at the top and bottom and is still straight and true across the whole
display (well at least as good as my eyes can tell!) BUT make sure that
the picture looks good when you look at it – you'll be the one using it
for hour after hour!!!
