Re: filmscanners: Monitor recommendation
Check Dell Computer for monitors, too - last I heard (and what I have) they
carry a Dell-branded 19" Sony Trinitron as well as others. Mine went bad and
Dell did the same - shipped a new one overnight, and had me return the old in
the same box at their expense.

| I have a ViewSonic PT795. Besides the excellent quality of this unit's
| display, the company seems to stand behind their product all the way. Short
| version: about a year ago I thought I might have a problem with the monitor
| (I'm convinced it's simply the nVidia drivers for my GeForce2 GTS card, but
| at the time it wasn't clear) and called ViewSonic to explain the situation.
| I didn't ask for anything other than feedback on whether the company had
| heard of such a situation before (my display would all of a sudden go to a
| strange speckled pattern across the entire screen, and the only way to get
| out of this was to reboot, and sometimes that didn't bring the display back
| properly either). The lady from ViewSonic, then told me she'd ship a new
| unit the next day and that I should put my monitor into that new units
| packing box and send it back to them by the same means. All she asked for
| was a CC to secure the deal temporarily, plus I had to pay shipping one
| way--back to ViewSonic. This was about a year after I'd purchased the
| original unit.
|
| I don't know, but that sounds like exceptional support to me.
