- I am definitely going to by XGA-2, waiting on literature like you. I have
- also been looking at monitors. My decision is not firm, I am waffling
- between the Nanao F550i (1280x1024 60Hz about $1100) or the Nanao T560i
- (1280x1024 7xHz about $1900). The T560i is BEAUTIFUL, but the price is
- steep. The F550i looks VERY, VERY good, but 60Hz refresh may be a bit too
- slow. The T560i is based on a special grade of Trinitron monitor, .26
- dot pitch. The F550i is a Hitachi tube, .28 dot pitch. My 7xHz comment
- is because I don't have the literature here with me now, my impression is
- that it is middle 70s. I saw both monitors at COMDEX.
