Jesse Friend refering to his Dungeons and Dragons Character > Jesse Kipp, zaphod@imailbox.com, jtkipp@students.wisc.edu > ------------ I have had excellent service from my EIZO TX-C7S 17" monitor. It has a broad sync range (30-92 Khz horiz, 50-160 Hz vert) and has a flicker free display at 1280x1024 - 85 Hz. Works great with XFree and a Matrox 4Mb video card. It also works well with Xigraphics X server. XFree drives the monitor at 1280x1024 - 76Hz, 1600x1280 - 70Hz (things get a little small at this resolution). As far as what to avoid: if ViewSonic still makes the 21PS, avoid it. Mine dimmed rather quickly. Just my $.02 worth. jmastrol@mcs.net
