[ale] Monitor Advice

[Tom Wiencko]

I have a Sony SDM-M61 16" flat screen (larger screen area than the 17"
it replaced).  It replaced two monitors on my desk.  I currently have
it hooked up to four computers, three windows and one Linux with 
absolutely no problems.  The monitor itself has two inputs (including 
one analog/digital combo) with a front panel A/B switch.  I have
a monitor switch behind it.  Linux plugs directly into the monitor A
port, the windows boxes plug into the switch which connects to the
monitor B port.

I absolutely love it.  It worked on all the systems out of the box.  

As soon as the prices come down a little more, a 20" or 21" is in
my future.
