If I were doing multimonitors my first choice would be to use identical monitors. i second that.

G810 is a good choice for lower resolution but the ones I've seen at work don't look nearly as sharp as a PT813. We just got a new lab machine with 16M mill II and the P815 looks great 1800x1440 resolution. The G810 "only" supports 1600x1200 resolution.??? What do you mean. The G810 is multisync and doesn't have high enough refresh rate at 1600x1200 for it to be usable. Sean

A pair of G810s running at 1600x1200 would be more than adequate for my needs,but I was considering using the better P815 as my primary monitor.The difference in price is about 160.00.I was unaware of the lack of a brightness thumbwheel on the P815,not something I have to have,but a nice feature.I will take a peak at the G810 down at COMP USA before I make a decision.The prices on these will drop like a rock after I buy them.Thanks again for your input.Have a great 4th.brewster

ViewSonic Monitors - refurbished There is a store near my home that sells refurbished ViewSonic Monitors. Most of them just have a cosmetic defect in the casing. They have a 1 yr warranty. 17" P775 - $220 19" - 419 20" - $399 21" - choice of G810, P810, P815, PT813 - $500 29" - $600 Am I stupid to put $500 into a Viewsonic 21" with a 1 yr warrenty? For trading purposes what 21" monitor would be the best? The Viewsonic lady said - the P815 due to less returns/complaints. The PT813 has an aperature grill,is brighter but less sharp, so she says. She really liked the 19". I am use to working on a 17". To all, is 21" just too much screen to look at? Are they too bulky? What would the equivalent resolution be on a 21" compared to 800x600 resolution on a 17"? Does everyone agree that 21" monitors are preferable? Thanks, S.W.
