I have a PanaSync C1391 hooked up to my A4000 right now.  I was using it
with a 2000 for about 2.5 years before I got my 4000.  Now I use the
640x480 productivity mode and haven't noticed any brightness problems.

It works in most modes but here are a few problems I've noticed:

	- doesn't seem to like the VGAonly monitor.  when i use this the top
	  7 or 8 scan lines are all messed up - they curve way to the right
	  and destort the top of the screen (well, destort those lines only).

	- those same top rows of pixels seem really picky even without the
	  VGAonly thing.  when i first turn on the monitor they are bent a
	  bit to the right.  you can adjust the centering of the screen
	  (the monitor adjustment, not prefs) and make it look better, but
	  as the monitor warms up they straighen up so you end up adjusting
	  the horizontal centering a lot.  this bend is nearly as bad as
	  with VGAonly but it's annoying.

	- some of the other modes, like Super72, don't look too good.  they
	  seem to lose some scan lines or something, like the monitor can't
	  handle the resolution.

I may replace it if something nice comes along with a good price.  I can't 
believe that price above!  I paid $470 a couple of years ago.  Sure that
price up there is right?  That is too much.

I suppose it is possibile that the monitor has changed since I got mine, or
mine acts different than some others.  If anyone else has experience with
this monitor please speak up!
