Hi Greg
Thanks for your advice.
Priories
1 Portable good quality 2nd TV for home (we can't watch Dr Who in
lounge and cook braised brains, kidneys and onions in kitchen and
watch at same time).
2 Could drag it into bedroom for bedtime reviewing of SBS late
night viewing.
3 Could put into spare bedroom for visitors, without getting
hernia et al.
4 Could use as second monitor for Powerbook for school and GMUG
use when needed (tax thingie here!)
But I could buy a cheap conventional small screen TV for maybe
$300-500 to do 1-3 but it would be big to lug around home and perch
on kitchen ledge.
...just another wild idea maybe
The "little" Phillips I saw at HN today had pic quality probably
better then our big screen Vega Trinitron at home, AND it costs $500
more than we paid for it 3 yrs ago. Probably hard to justify really!

Hi Reg,
There are quite a few around at the moment, but resolution still
tends to be
poor in the larger size monitors. From what I've seen, the 23"
monitors
with 1280 x 768 resolution are more for display/TV purposes than
being used
as a monitor, but I guess it depends on your expectations as well.
You certainly won't find anything at half these prices (unless
their damaged
stock etc.), but I can give you very competitive pricing on Sony,
Philips,
BenQ, Samsung, Viewsonic + many more other brand.
Cheers to all!
Kind regards,

Hi All WAMUGgers
I'm interested in your feedback on a small/er LCD Tv that could also
double as a monitor.
Something portable that could be second TV at home and also I could
use as second monitor for Powerbook.
Websearch shows Sony Vega MFMHT95 - 19" and -MHT75 - 17" with
1280x1024 resolution but Sony retail at about $1400-1800.
Local HN store has a Phillips 23PF9946/79 (23") 1280x79 for $1900
showroom display.
*Actually I was thinking of paying about half these prices at most!
LCD seems very expensive. I could buy an iBook for less $$ but not
such a big display.
