Yes, price is part of the factor, but mainly to MY eye, the Viewsonic has a better picture and clarity than the Lacie. (after working 7 months on my 17" LCD and a 22" CD during a contract job, looking at the Viewsonic, it is much crisper and richer than compared to the Lacie.) An EBIII 19" is around $800 CANADIAN. I can get 2 P95f+b's for a $1100 CANADIAN with an ADC > VGA adapter. So I more than double my workspace, and save myself ;
1)$1200 CAN for a used 17' LCD to go with my 17' LCD that I use now
2)$250 for a DVI > ADC connector
3)$350 for a Radeon 7500 PCI card
I'd rather sell my 17' LCD and get the two Viewsonics, have money leftover for a 120 gig HD to go with my new Sonnet ATA card, and put the $1800 I would have spent on the second LCD towards a TiBook.
Anybody know of a hood manufacturer for CRT's?
