RE: [APML] Monitor recomendations

["R. Scott Ireland" <ireland@gate.net>]

Hi Robert,

I used NEC monitors for many years, and was quite happy with them.  I
recently switched to a Sony Trinitron for my image processing computer and
It appears to me to be better than the NEC in a side by side comparison (I
still have the NEC on my "regular" computer).  The Sony seems smoother and
less contrasty, as well as showing slightly more fine detail.  I've never
used Viewsonic monitors, although I understand them to be very highly
regarded.

Take care,

Scott
