That max resolution does not sound right for a modern monitor, but the only true test is your own eyes. That resolution, IIRC, will give you WSISWYG output on the monitor, but it is pretty low for doing serious work, IMHO. I run that resolution on a 17" and 1280 x 960 on an old 21". My brother runs 800 x 600 on a 17", which would scale to 1024x768 on a 19". My personal advice is not to scrimp on a monitor, since that is your main interaction with your mac. A good monitor will make a lot more difference in your day to day usage than say a 50mhz speed bump on your system. The only way to really tell if this monitor is right for you is to take a couple of jpegs that you are familiar with on a pc formatted floppy to staples and view them on the monitor. If you are doing semi serious photoshop work, my guess is that the monitor may be on the questionable side. Also, open up a text document and see how sharp text is near the edges of the screen to check the sharpness of the text. HTH Len -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
