- I own a Sony CPD 1604S and like it. It's hooked up to my Q900 onboard
- video and works well with that. I got a good deal last summer on
- the Sony and it compares well with the Apple 16" (they are both trinitron
- tubes). I did have to use the "Mac Std Gamma" (not the default) to
- get it bright enough for me.

- You can run the CPD-1604S at a variety of resolutions. I've personally
- use it at 640x480 and 832x624 with different adapter cables. So I'm
- sure you can run it on your ci at 640x480 with the proper cable. To
- get the 832x624 you'll need a video card that supports the standard
- 16" monitor resolution.
