Anybody have a ViewSonic E90f 19 '' CRT?

[Beefwellington11]

Does anybody have the ViewSonic E90f? I was considering buying this but I decided to see if I could get some feedback on if it is a good buy or not? I posted earlier on my search for a good 17 inch monitor but decided to go for the 19 inch.

Any suggestions would be of much help.

I have Viewsonic G90F

It's a higher end model than E.

But:

1) neither are perfectly flat as you can actually see the screen "inside" the monitor being slightly convex
2) it's very hard to use the monitor for anything other than gaming at 1600x1200. In fact, it's not even that great at 1280x1024 for text clarity. The refresh rate is not optimal for gaming (ie. 85 hz) at 1600x1200 either.

I'd get something by Samsung or NEC 19 inch instead. Or better yet, get a 17 inch LCD since it has the same viewing area as a CRT and is just cooler 🙂

Alright, sounds like Samsung is the best bet. Ok, wish I could change the topic... Now, anyone ever have the SAMSUNG SyncMaster 997DF (http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=24-001-166&depa=0 ) ? I'm looking for the best gaming 19 or 17 inch CRT available.

Thanks for the help!
