I'm considering purchasing a 19" monitor from Samsung. They offer two different types of flat CRTs - one is the Dynaflat (which uses the shadow mask tube) and the other is the naturally flat, which uses an aperature grill pitch (like the sony trinitons, etc.)...they offer similar specs (i.e. same refresh rates at a given resolution) but the dynaflat is about 14 bucks canadian cheaper, also, i assume there won't be those lines at the bottom that agp (aperature etc.) monitors have...but is it any less flat, or clear, or etc.???

whcih is better? - let me know!

AMD Athlon Classic 700@784 112mhz fsb
Asus K7M
128MB pc100@112 Cas 2
Asus V6600 geforce sdr @150 core/210 mem

that's what i mean, there's really no large price difference between the two - so i wonder
if the aperature is really any better....however, i've just read a few more things on both
monitors, and i'm almost sure that the aperature is better...but still, they sell a damn nice flat shadow mask...

anyway, thanks.
