900NF vs 900IFT Whats the difference/Which is better?

I'm looking to buy one or the other... or another comparably priced 19" monitor.

What is the difference between the two?
 
One is shadow mask and the other is Trinitron/Diamondtron/etc. I think the IFT looks better, but I recommend looking at them yourself before you make a decision.
 
Any other opinions on this? The 900NF says it has .25mm dp aperture grill vs the 900IFT has .20mm dp horizontal
I wanted at least .24 dp so maybe there is something better out therE?
 
When the 900IFT says its .20mm dp, it's measured in a different way and can't be compared to the dp rating on most monitors. I own the 900IFT, it's a good monitor. But in terms of overall bandwidth and picture quality, the 900NF is better. The 900NF is an aperture grille/diamondtron like Geekish mentioned. Usually aperture grille monitors are inherently better when it comes to showing vibrant colors, or so I hear. The 900IFT is however a very high quality shadow mask.

I always heard text and such would look better on the 900IFT, but pictures and games would look better on the 900NF. Never seen the 900NF so I can't say for certain if this is true.
