>> The one fundamental thing on choosing a monitor is to buy the demo <g> ( or at least have the seller hook up the one he is proposing to sell you, so you can see the images for yourself). They DO vary from sample to sample. You want to check a sharp image, and also a screenful of text, at a small font size. If the text is sharp, everything is likely to be. If the colors are smooth and pleasing, and the text is sharp, all is usually well, as far as sample variations are concerned. Just my experience. <<
A few points to consider: A CRT will change slightly in the first couple of weeks of use. Usually it gets slightly better. Even if a dealer is willling to hook up a monitor for you, it requires at least a half hour warm up and stabilize. A white full screen image will give you a pretty good idea of the evenness of illumination and colour inconsistencies. And perhaps most importantly, there are differences between video cards that influence the sharpness of the image. If you view the monitor on a different brand/model of video card than you have, there's no guarantee the image will look the same when the monitor is hooked up to your own computer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
