I've been trying to find a good 15" monitor in Melbourne, Australia. Having done some homework (bought the PC Magazine) and read up on the monitor reviews. Having thought I knew enough, I started looking through the price lists of various hardware advertisers and tried phoning a few about the monitors they advertised. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I don't think I've seen any of the editor's choices, good buys or even adequate buys from the Magazine advertised. I always seem to get a model that isn't listed! Does anyone have the specs or anything good or bad about the following monitors? Aus$780 15" DAT XGA monitor Aus$750 15" ADI FS 4G FS low-rad (a different one was reviewed in the PC Magazine) 15" Viemagic XGA, NI, FS Aus$785 15" MAG XGA NI LX1464 (dunno what this is, as a different one was reviewed in the PC magazine, the sales-drone said they only stocked MAG's with Hitachi tubes) Aus$1150 15" MAG MX15H (the MX15G won an award in the PC Magazine, and I don't know what this one is) I'm really interested in the MAG LX1464, but don't really know much about it. Does it have between 13 and 14 inches of active area? Even the ADI or DAT would seem to be a reasonable purchase as long as the active area was bigger than most 14" SVGA monitors. 800x600 or higher on a 14" monitor is too much for my eyes ;-( Thanks for your help. - Jim
