As I would expect, you get what you pay for.  However, I would be 
curious to know if those returns were actual "failures" or just 
unsatisfied customers?

BTW, both monitors in question have 3yr warrenty, and I'm sure the
retailer would just "swap" out any bad hardware.  Santa has proposed 
purchasing them local, not mail order.

Right.  I've found the specs for each monitor in question, and they are
all ranges (i.e. resolution, hsync, vsync) are supported by XFree86.

Is point size the same as dot pitch.  I've found that one monitors 
advertises a 0.22mm dot pitch, while the other advertises 0.25mm.  I'm
gussing the smaller is better, but how much difference is there?  Would
I notice.

Keep in mind.  I'm currently using a circa 1995 Princeton Graphics 15" 
(apporx. 14" viewable) VGA!  I'm sure either one of the models Santa is
considering will please my eyes.
