The net.consensus at the time seemed to be that it was a very good monitor at an excellent price, but that MAG had questionable quality control. I decided that the savings over a supposedly more consistent brand like NEC was worth the risk. Incidentally, I have a MAG 15F; there are different versions of their 15" monitor; for instance, the one they produce for Gateway under the Crystalscan label appears to have more problems.
