Does anyone have any recommendations or magazine reviews for 15"
monitors ?
I have heard that the Iiyama monitors are meant to be very good.  I
see that the Iiyama 15" Vision Master MF-8515F is 259+VAT.  Does
anyone have the specifications of this model ?

I have just upgraded my PC and now have a Videologic 2Mb GrafixStar
300 PCI graphics card and run Windows 95.  Do new monitors come with a
driver for W95, as I see that you can now select your monitor model in
the Windows setup ?
I want a monitor which can save the settings (ie. horizontal/vertical
stretch, brightness & contrast) for different resolutions or have a
number of user defined memories.  This may be standard on button type
controlled monitors anyway, but I'm not sure.

Possible choices for 15" monitors (and price exc. VAT) :

CTX 1565D SVGA MPRII                           (230 ukp)
NEC MultiSync XV15, 1280x1024 80Hz             (274 ukp)
MAG DX1595 TFT                                 (289 ukp)
Iiyama Vision Master FST MF-8515F              (259 ukp)
Philips Brilliance Autoscan 15B                (254 ukp)
Samsung Syncmaster 15GLI 1280x1024 Plug & Play (289 ukp)
Taxan Ergovision 580+ LR 1280x1024 N-I         (269 ukp)
Viewsonic 15ES 1024x768                        (270 ukp)

Does anyone have any magazine reviews that may show the specifications
of some of these monitors ?
Any guidance to help me make the correct choice will be much
appreciated.
