- Well, I have been using one of these monitors for the last couple of weeks
- now and have nothing but praise for it. There is not a mode that I am
- aware of that the A4000 can generate which it cannot handle. The picture
- is very sharp and I've not noticed any blooming, tearing, or other artifacts
- which detract from it.
-
- As for the dot-pitch, you should perhaps wait to see one before you pass
- judgement on it. It looks, to my eyes, to be as sharp or sharper than the
- 14" SVGA with .28 dot-pitch that I was using previously. At 800x600, you
- can make out the individual lines in a band of alternating black and white
- vertical bars, something which can't be said for many 14" monitors...
-
- However, many people find the size of the pixels in the 320xXXX modes to
- be a bit disconcerting. It is almost as if you are working in the magnify
- mode of DPaint... :-)
