Hi,

I'm considering replacing my ageing 17" CRT monitor with a 15" TFT. This
list may not be the most appropriate forum to ask for advice, but I know
many of you are using TFT monitors (the ones built in your ThinkPads).

I'm planning to use 1024 x 768 as the resolution, based on the (hopefully
correct) assumption that a 15" TFT monitor really has a 15" displayable
area (as opposed to 17" CRT typically having 15.5"-16") and also is
brighter and higher quality.

Which of the following characteristics should attract my attention: dot
pitch, brightness, contrast ratio, refresh rate.

Any opinions about the following monitors:

Compaq TFT500 (or TFT450)
IBM 9514 LCD
Mitsubishi LCD50
Samsung SyncMaster 500 TFT
ViewSonic VPA150 (or VPA145)

Thanks,

Dominique
