A good shadow-mask display should always be sharper than a good aperture-grill display. In fact, the only way to get really fine sharpness out of an aperture grill is to spend (relatively) big bucks. I mean, you're not going to get great sharpness out of those $700 Nec/Mitsu SuperBright displays.
Also, be careful with the ultra-highend (iow, the Sony FW900). Its price is due to its unusual size and configuration, not its image quality. While some people will stand by these monitors, I am more inclined to believe that the ridiculous amount of money they invested is clouding their judgement.

Try here It's a black one so if you're going dual with a white one, it may look goofy.Originally posted by bhayes82
I can personally vouch for the Mitsubishi DP 930SB. I have one, and am dying to get another for a dual-monitor setup. It's about $300, if you can find one. It was out-of-stock nearly everywhere last time I looked.
My nec fp2141 is a 22" AG and it was about $600. It is sharp from corner to corner. Of course it took awhile to calibrate it that way, but all the adjustments to do so are there. The reason it is sharp from center to edge is because it has dual focus controls. One allows the center to be sharp and adjusting the other helps bring the edges in to focus.
In the other room is a shadow mask flat by samsung and it just looks like a normal bubble monitor with a piece of flat glass on the outside. It pretty much is a bubble monitor with a glare filter on the front. I don't see how they can call them flat monitors.

There's no point in arguing with you. The fact is, your display is not sharp edge to edge. It might be sharp relative to other aperture grill displays, or relative to your average shadow mask display, but compared to a decent shadow mask display it is noticably blurry.
If you took some of the higher end Hitachi SuperScan monitors (even some from 5+ years ago) and set them up next your display, the difference would be like night and day. Your display is in a much lower league when it comes to sharpness/clarity/focus.

I run at 75hz all day and have no complaints about eyesores and what not.Originally posted by CyberCRAP
What good is this "super sharpness" you preach of if the monitor can't handle 1600x1200 @ 85hz. Anything below 85hz is guarranteed headache. Anything below 1600x1200 on a 22" looks like crap.

what benefit is there in 100hz....that you don't get in 85...or 75....Originally posted by tehandydumke
I'm also looking for a 19" crt monitor between 200-250 dollars. Which one should I get? I want to be able to run 100Hz at 1152x864 and I want it really clear, bright and sharp!
