Ok,


So I RMAed my Ultra 73 monitor to princeton graphics, and they don't have an ultra 73 to replace it with, and they are offering me a Sylvania F77 instead. Which should I get? The supervisor offered to hold my RMA on his desk and send me an Ultra 73 as soon as they get them(possibly the end of the week, but maybe later)?

Oh, I'm told that any future RMA would be through Princeton Graphics regardless.
