Hello all,
I am looking for a PVM 14M2MDU, to approximate color match my Amiga 500 system, I really don't need any other features, besides it being an RGB/Comp monitor. The closest model that I have locally found, is the PVM-1353MD.
1) What is the difference between PVM 14M2MDU, and PVM-1353MD?
2) Since I already own a PVM-14L5, is this model better than the two?
3) The reason I ask the above question, is that I am entertaining/contemplating the idea of an *even trade*, between my PVM-14L5, and the PVM-1353MD that this guy has in his possession. Would this be a fair trade for me, or my PVM-14L5 is much better/more expensive unit?
I really appreciate your time, answering my questions!
I think the 14M2 is just the generation after the 135X models.
the 135X line has a couple models that have less features the lower you go (1354 to 1350 I think). 1354 and 14M2 being similar.
I've had both a 1354q and a 14M2U. their picture was very similar. both 600 tvl monitors, both look dyamite for games. I guess the 14M2 could be preferrrable since it's newer. features should be similar but check the brochure for both to be sure of the differences. Pick the one with the tube in best shape, basically.
The 14L5 is a lot more valuable since it's multisync and is 800 TVL, colours a bit more accurate too. I wouldn't do an even trade. If you ever want to get rid of your 14L5, ask for the 1353/14M2 plus a very good chunk of cash. But a good case could be made to hang on to it for it's multisync capabilities.
Personally I like the 600 TVL monitors better for gaming, but there's no denying the L5 is worth a lot more and that multisync capabilities are really useful and sought after. high TVL count is highly sought after too.
