- At higher resolutions available through the picasso, the .28 is
- noticeably better than .31; for normal amiga modes there's no big deal.
- I run mine with 38kHz picasso modes, even higher through the PC.
- Expect to pay up to $300 for a 1960, if you find one at $200 buy
- it and go to an indian restaurant for dinner. At $300 you're then
- at the threshold of the next level, why not a 15" monitor with a
- 3-year warranty?
