I have a 1490 (the older model) and the color is excellent. The only reason I
would trade it would be for a 19" monitor like you get with Sun's and Apollo's
workstations. I've had it 2.5 yrs and it has been completely reliable.
Occasionally the "picture" gets a little wavey at the left margins/borders,
but this is not a regular or constant thing - it comes & goes (mostly goes) &
has not gotten any worse in the last year. Hooked to a VGA card, the resolution
and color combination is unbeatable. THe catch (there always is one) is the the
1490 that I have only goes to VGA resolution - it is not multisynch. I'm 
fairly sure the 1492 is the same way - in fact I'm not clear on the difference/.Anyone out there have a "diff" on the 2 monitors?
