Re: [APML] Monitor recomendations

["mstecker" <mstecker@dslextreme.com>]

Hello Jay and others:
     I use a Viewsonics (older 17-inch graphic series) and would like to get
a similar larger CRT (19-inch).  However, to my dismay the 19-inch flat
screen model I saw at Best Buy did not have a quantitative or numerical
read-out so I did not buy it.  Is this a new trend for Viewasonic monitors
or will they have other monitors that will have a numerical read-out for
contrast and brightness?
