What's the difference between these 2 monitors?
« on: August 19, 2005, 05:22:24 pm »
From Happs:

(49-1337-VP2)  19" VGA/SVGA HAPP VISION PRO SERIES MONITOR MTG-1902EN

(49-1337-VP2LG) 19" VGA/SVGA HAPP VISION PRO
MONITOR/PHILLIPS/LG MTG-1902EN

The CSR had no idea when I called.  There is a $3 difference between the two.  The LG model is in stock and the regular one isn't and I wanted to order...  THANKS!!!

The LG means the monitor has either a Phillips or a Goldstar (LG) brand picture tube instead of the Orion tube normally supplied.

LG tubes are usually better quality.

The LG (Goldstar) tubes seem to have a good track record (life and quality).
