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. http://wapurl.co.uk/?N62FF0T 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.
