Sounds like you have the big brother of mine, which runs 1024x768 quite 
nicely, though I never use it.  800 x 600 is plenty for these old eyes.  My 
point was that you shouldn't assume that since you use a 15" CRT you need a 
15" LCD -- in fact the viewing area is closer to a 17" CRT.

It's interesting that MAG is now the same company as Proview, whose LCD 
displays are often among the cheapest around.  Putting the MAG name on this 
one was worth $10 over the Proview equivalent on TigerDirect.
