I own a ViewSonic VX900, http://www.viewsonic.com/products/lcd_vx900.htm which I purchased to use with 4 computers through a KVM switch (the four computers are 2 SGI machines, a FreeBSD box, and a windows laptop.) So far, since April or so, I haven't had a single problem with it, and I haven't even found a dead pixel. It handles the sync-on-green that the O2 and Octane want, and handles the Matrox G200 (old card) well under FreeBSD. FYI Brian Brian D. Moffet brianm@moffetimages.com -- http://www.moffetimages.com
