It's a very nice 17 inch monitor. The >price for a 200sx here in the bay area is around $575.00 to $600.00 I've heard that the Sony monitors are good, and I'll personally vouch for my ViewSonic. It's a 17" with 16" viewable area. After using it's digital on-screen controls, I hate going back to manual knobs. Having a monitor that remembers the settings for various refresh rates is nice too, since I run various OSes that use different display settings. K.S.
