1299.0. "Color Monitor: Which To Buy?" by RICKS::ROST (I'm getting cement all over you) Thu Aug 06 1992 12:11

    I need to get a color tube for the kids to use as the TV resolution is
    too poor for them to see the text on some of the programs they are
    running.  
    
    Although discontinued, Toad still has some 1224s at $240 and of course
    the newer/bigger 1435 at $340.  Other dealers have "reconditioned"
    1224s in the under $200 range, and prices competitive with Toad for
    the 1435.
    
    I have heard horror stories about the newer 1224s being pretty
    unreliable.  Is it worth spending an extra $100 for a 1435?  Are these
    any more robust?

     1224's being unreliable?  I  have had one for about 5 years, 4 kids
    use it, and another (for me) which is 2 years old. I have never had a
    problem of any kind with either.
