Yes, we have the Mitsubishi monitor, and what a great monitor it is!
I made the mistake of daisy chaining a Hitachi (from a 4D/25) to it so that I
could compare them side by side, and now people here complain about how
'fuzzy' the Hitachi looks.

I seem to have the opposite problem.  Rather than stretch the 492 stereo
scan lines to match 1024 regular scan lines, or even 984 scan lines,
my monitor matches them to about 928!  So now I wonder if I have a
hardware or software problem with my monitor?  I guess it's time to make
use of the maintenance contract and let the Hotline figure it out!
