Battle of the 19" Flat CRTs. One is a bit more expensive, the Viewsonic. Wondering if anyone has experience with either of these models. Or any input what so ever.
I've been leaning towards the 955DF just because it's cheaper and it still does 1280 x 960 at 85hz. 85hz is good enough for me. Wondering if it's worth it to go up to the G90f.
 
I've had the G90f for over a year now and I love this monitor. It's bright, crisp and sharp. Actually it's pixel pitch was a big selling point compared to other monitors when I was shopping. And it's ability to maintain a high refresh rate. My monitor before this one had a terrible rate. I noticed the difference immediatly. I'm actually planning on switching to an LCD even though I love this monitor so, because it's just, my eyes are starting to go on me and an LCD would just be better. I still plan on keeping the G90f for LAN's.
 
Personally i love my 955DF, i have never owned a Viewsonic but this monitor works great for me, the only downfall is that once i get a better videocard and i want to start running any higher than 1280X1024( i would still like to run it at 100Hz though, but i usually run everything at 1024x768) i would like some higher refresh rates, preferably 100Hz. However i trus in the samsung brand since mine has given me absolutely no problems for the last 2+ years or so. I'd like to get one to replace my folks cheap 17" Sylvania F70 sine that one is crap. Well i hope my input helped.
 
I have a 955DF, and I personally don't like it too much. My 17" Sony that I got back in 2000 was way better. I'm not even convinced the screen on the 955DF is flat. It looks like there is a flat glass panel in front of a screen that isn't flat if you look closely. Also, at times my 955DF gets kind of wavey - more so in certain resolution/refresh rate combos than others. Never had this problem with my Sony, so I don't think it is from interference.
 
I really wouldn't go with viewsonic now. I got one and I must say that I'm dissapointed (like MANY other people) about the quality... and how the "flat screen" is just glass in front of a curved screen CRT, which gives a big glare/reflection problem with light on dark background images (IE, start menu to desktop background)
 
I'm gunna get the 955DF. Just because I'm cheap. I don't care if I don't belong on this forum, but I'll keep on truckin'.
