Any way a person might get a chance to try out one of the monitors with his 
machine?...  like perhaps bring his machine to where one of the monitors is
located...  then cable the monitor...  set software video parameters as
needed...
and try it out?...  is there any documentation for the monitors that would aid
in this process?...  I'd like to try this...  :-)...  if this process seemed 
to yield reasonable results...  if looks good I might be interested in buying 
one for a reasonable amount...  Bill
