I just got a new system with all black components, but am looking for a nice black monitor, which hasn't been easy to find. I'm working on a 15" sony now so used to a flat screen, and would love to find something somewhat flat that is 19". if anyone could help i would really appreciate it.

Viewsonic E790B. Not perfectly flat, but flat enough. Not a Trinitron tube, but shadow mask.

Yea, the FD Trinitron looks gorgeous, they're the only ones who's making some nice looking monitors with black casing. The ViewSonic Es look like crap.

C'mon, LXi...you're not biased towards Trinitron tubes, are you? The "E" series is not that bad. The least this person could do is purchase from someone who allows items to be returned -- in the event he doesn't like it. I'd take my chances with a shadow mask tube when ordering over a Trinitron tube. I've had way too many issues with Trinitron tubes to be hassled with buying them and returning them due to problems.

No, Im not biased at all, many people have seen the Trinitron tube and swear by it. You can count me as one but I fully understand that there are people who thinks AG tubes are crap. When someone asks me whats a good monitor I always give them both AG and shadow mask tubes. Other AG loyalists fail to do so. Im not even impressed by ViewSonic's P series, do you expect me to like the Es? Hell, I'd take a Samsung or Hitachi over ViewSonic if Im going shadow mask.
