The other side of the moon: I purchased Sony Multiscan 500PS (a 21" one) three years ago. Was really expensive at this time, but worth it. I've been working three years, 6 days per week, 7 hours per day and the quality of picture is excellent. Really, sometimes world seems to be black-and-white only. I've heard rumours about bad quality of newer Sony monitors, but it'll take another three years to back it. -- Vallo Kallaste kalts@estpak.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
