7445.0. "Digital PCs with Viewsonic brand monitors" by STAR::jacobi.zko.dec.com::jacobi (Paul A. Jacobi - OpenVMS Systems Group) Mon May 19 1997 14:35

I noticed that several new Celebris PC systems have recently been arriving in 
ZKO with 21" VIEWSONIC branded monitors.  My system was shipped several 
months ago with Digital branded/rebadged 21" Mitsubishi Diamondtron.  I assume 
both were purchased through IEG.

Was the Viewsonic shipments to make up for a temporary shortage of Digital 
branded monitors or part of strategic alliance between Digital and Viewsonic to 
ship Viewsonic brand monitors.

	Hi Paul, It appears to be a money issue. In fact, here in Alpharetta the CSC's Electronic Workplace program initially used the Viewsonic 21" monitors until a $harp person found a program/process in place between DIGITAL and Viewsonic that would take back the 21" monitors (@$799/each) and replace them with new 20" Viewsonic monitors (@$400/each) ... what a concept! I hthy, Ron
7445.3	There's a story here somewhere....	STAR::JACOBI	Paul A. Jacobi - OpenVMS Development	`Sun May 25 1997 16:38`	11
	Oh, I have no problem here. In fact, I think ViewSonic monitors have excellent quality and value! I recently purchased the 17PS for home use. However, with all the ViewSonic brand monitors popping up in ZKO, I smell something going on here.... -Paul
