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.

The Sony's were much poorer in the large screen size than some of the other
CRT's. Just not the brightness.
