I heard from the local H/Z store that Zenith is bringing out a new model of
the Flat Tension Mask monitor soon (this month?) that doesn't weigh nearly
as much and has the same capabilities.  Is any of this true?  I'm about to
purchase a handful of these, but I'm quite familiar with the WEIGHT of the
current model, and might hold off if something else was imminent...

Yes, they weigh less, they're smaller, the power switch is on the side,
and no fan!

Yes, that's right. It should be out after Christmas. My local Zenith center
already has the glossies on this new beast - the ZCM-1492. The specs I have
on it are as follows: Dimensions: 12.25"H x 14.75"W x 14.95"D Weight: 37 lbs.

As far as image size, and capabilities go it looks like they haven't changed
anything. That may be good or bad, depending on how you see it. Rumor has
it that the ZCM-1492 also has no fan, so it should be quieter. I like
my 1490, but if I were buying new I'd wait. -MWP

I saw the ZCM-1492 at COMDEX. Aside from eliminating a lot of weight and
the fan, the casing has changed in one significant way: the bezel around
the screen is better shaped and there is a wider black border. The
monitor is still VGA Only at 640x480.

The Dec. 4 issue of InfoWorld lists the weight as 34 lbs. (it's getting lighter
all the time!) and states that the "suggested" price will be $999.
