Thanks...I'll look around for one. I've looked at the best from SONY
and
Viewsonic.


The high-end Sony was the benchmark I used when shopping. A very nice
display. Unfortunately, whoever designed the stand for the current
model of
the monitor is a complete idiot. No height adjustment at all and a
very
awkward tilt adjustment. I stumbled upon the NEC by accident at a
Fry's
Electronics store and it was all over. The display was at least the
equal
of the Sony as far as my needs for digital photo editing was concerned,
even
edging it out a bit, I thought But the height and tilt adjustment were
far
superior on the NEC, as were the powered USB ports, and after rebate,
it was
$100 less expensive than the Sony. It probably didn't hurt that I was
converting from an NEC CRT that had served me well for over ten years.
Don't even bother with the ViewSonic products. They are not at the
same
level as the Sony and NEC.



I noticed that about the SONY. Actually, I'm kinda holding out for
something I like bigger than 19. One of my clients lets me use a
Viewsonic 20" when I visit his office, and that size is really nice.
I'm in no real hurry.

I've got a 20" Viewsonic, it's a great monitor.
