On Sat, 11 May 1996 20:18:25 GMT matt@tdraft.demon.co.uk (Matt West) spake forth these words of wisdom: >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.

I've got no details of any of them but if a personal recommendation is worth anything they have mine. I have the 17" Vision Master and can honestly say I've *never* had a singlr complaint. It gives a clear, crisp well-defined picture under Win95 & DOS. Think hard about the size, 15" is not really big enough IMHO.
