Chris, Dick and Earl:
I needed to clarify that my most recent monitor was the iiyama 'Vision
Master Pro17. That is to say, I liked the iiyama enough to buy another
one albeit for a different application from constant screen viewing. BTW
the screen is 'nice and flat'. Please, if there is something better; let
us
know. Thanks.
Charles
