KDS Av-195TF Monitor

[Jgtdragon]

I am thinking of buying this monitor from onvia with their $25 coupon. Heard lots of good things about it, but not much bad. Good choice guys? Please give me so feedback.

Thanks

I was expecting a much more improved image from my VS195 after the upgrade but the difference is not as much as all the Trinitron zealots make it to be. Images are very slightly finer grained and colours are just a bit more vivid, but the screen is flat and this is what my eye doctor wanted me to buy. I saw it side-by-side with a Sony G400 and a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro (or was it Plus, can't remember). Couldn't tell the difference (the Sony has the exact same CRT as the KDS). The thing is slightly longer than my VS195 and runs just as hot.

I'm still having problems with the geometry. No matter what I try, some lines still seem to not quite meet at right angle, even though all the outside frame is perfectly square. Might be an optical illusion due to my strong eyeglasses. Or might be part of the Trinitron design.

Dennilflos:
The geometry is difficult to get perfectly straight and I have the right upper corner that looks as if the corner pin is off somewhat and it won't correct. I sent my first one back because I felt that it was just too hot and KDS also thought so too, but the replacement runs just as hot.
I do love the flat look of it.

You're getting a free heater, too? This is a deal that cannot be passed!

More like a good bun warmer!
See I can enjoy my monitor and cook at the same time. Brings a new meaning to the warning: Do not eat or drink near your keyboard and monitor! LOL
