- I was very unhappy with the picture quality of the Mag 15H we bought for our
- lab here. I returned it and the next two. All three had problems with
- focus (especially in the corners) and pin-cushioning. They were definately
- not worth the money we were spending on them. We settled on (and are very
- happy with) the Mag 14S. This is the same monitor, only slightly smaller
- and with a Sony tube. It cost us a bit *less* than the 15H would have and
- it provides a sharper, brighter image, and a blacker background (the 15H
- background was very grey and the image was not as bright as I would have
- expected from a quality monitor). BTW, we are using a ATI Graphics Utra
- card to drive the monitor.... I hope others have had a bit better luck with
- Mag than I did, but IMHO the Mag 14S is a *much* better monitor than the 15H.
