-=PCTechTalk=- Re: LCD Guru's - what about this monitor?

Rudy,
    While I certainly appreciate the vote of confidence in whatever I say, I 
am just as prone to error as anyone else here (or anywhere else, for that 
matter).  If I say something that strikes you as odd, please don't hesitate 
to call me out on it.  "Sometime, da teacha become da student."        :O)

    In this case, I culled my max resolution info from the following CompUSA 
ad, which could very well be in err.

    Without looking at the two links you sent, I'm immediately drawn to the 
one with the anti-glare coating, specifically since you said that you expect 
to use it under flourescent lighting.  Flourecents can wreak havok with your 
eyes when staring at a monitor for relatively long periods of time under 
them.  Auto-sensing backlight dimmers won't help you anywhere near as much 
as the anti-glare coating.  Having said that, don't buy a monitor purely on 
the basis of a built-in coating.  You can always buy a clip-on coated screen 
separately for any size monitor (and should already have one on the monitor 
you're currently using).

    After checking out the sites, I'd prefer the Hanns for a couple of 
reasons.  First it includes a 3 year warrantee, where the Megavision 
provides only a single year.  The Hanns also has a wide viewing angle in 
both directions.  I've never liked bring too tied to a specific angle for 
looking at a screen, especially with the moving around that I do at my PC 
desk.  Finally, I also appreciate the inclusion of the 4 USB ports on the 
side of the monitor.  While I have plenty in easy reach for what I need 
right now, that's always subject to change and it's good to know they're so 
close and easily accessable.

    I do wish the Hanns unit had also included the individual component 
inputs that come standard on the Megavision, but this is a minor gripe 
compared to the features of the Hanns.

Peace,
GMan
