Hello,
I just today bought a new monitor. Saturday my old Highscreen 1785 broke and I replaced it with a new LG Flatron F900B. That was however *very* sensitive to magnetic fields of my speakers (wrong colors at the edges) and the picture geometry was bad. (Upper part of the picture was bended, no way to correct that)

So that monitor went back to the shop today.

Now I bought a TFT monitor. Its a "Sony TFT LCD SDM-HS73P" That is a 17" monitor and has horizontal freqs from 48...75 Hz and vertical freqs from 28...80kHz.

Especially the horizontal freq is important for Amiga-usage. I have a scandoubler for the vertical frequency of the Amiga, but the 50Hz remain. (Most TFTs start at 56Hz!)

This monitor handles the Amiga-Modes very well and the picture quality is good. After half a day testing with Amiga-native (scan-doubled), Amiga GFX card (Cybervison64) and ordinary PCs (one desctop and a laptop) I would really recomment this monitor. Picture quality is good, its sharp, bright and has a good contrast. Switching between the videomodes is sufficiently fast.

Its however not really cheap, 599 euros here...
