LCD Monitors
Thank you, everybody for your help. I finally decided on the ViewSonic 191b which is highly recommended by PC World.
I've ordered it via A2K/Amazon from a source in Texas unfamiliar to me but highly rated by Amazon customers, so I'm confident that everything will go smoothly. I don't know if A2K benefits from purchases made from Amazon-connected suppliers, but I hope so. (The direct A2K connections were out of stock on this model.)
Now I'm waiting eagerly for it to come. When it does I'm passing my old monitor on to someone who hopes to be able to hitch his laptop to it. (Can this be done?)
Thanks again, and I'll let you all know how it works out.
