Greetings all!!

I know this has come up before, but there is a little twist involved.

What I'm looking for is:

VGA 13"-19" color monitor, that can handle the 800x600 modes
(19" should take the 1024x7?? mode too).

Problem is, it HAS to have the 120/220 selectable power supply.

I've got a 13" "IMTEX" monitor now.  I opened it up to check on the
PS, but, alas, can't switch it to 220.  (besides, it can't handle the
800x600 mode worth sh*t, looks like watching an old b/w silent
picture) BTW, it has Samsung guts and tube!!

So, If anybody HAS (as in, owns one or works on one) a VGA 13" or
bigger monitor that can handle 800x600 mode, AND is 120/220
selectable, please E-MAIL me your experiences.  

I need to know:
+ does it hold still in high modes? i.e., no wavering
+ have you tried plugging it in to a 220 (european) socket?
+ What connectors does it have? analog/digital/both?
+ Does it change alignment evrytime you change modes?
+ Who's tube and guts does it have?

IOW, mines a piece of crap, and I can't take it with me to
Switzerland.  I want to buy a cheap mail-order type VGA but
don't want to get screwed again.  I can't afford something
like the NEC 4D (or is it 3? the big one i mean), but
HAVE to have one before December.

I'll surmise (sp intentional) to the net if anyone else
gives a RS.

Thanks!!
