Need opinions on which 19" monitor to get

[CrazySaint]

I'm shopping for a 19" Aparture Grill flat-screen monitor. I'd like to keep costs as low as possible without sacrificing image quality. Black would be preferable, but not necessary. The one's I've got in mind so far are:

NEC/Mitsubishi FE990 - I'm currently leaning towards this one, I get can get it from Dell for $230/free S+H
Viewsonic G90
Samsung 900NF - I'm leaning against this one because its higher priced and has the same diamondtron screen the NEC has.

I'd be happy for any other low-cost suggestions any of you might have.

I've got a Samsung 955DF and think the quality is great.

That's a great price on the NEC. I'd go with that, especially since it uses the same tube as the Samsung. My sister paid $275 for the same one two years ago.

The only other cheap flat 19" I can think of is the Hitachi, but I think it's shadow mask.

NEC.

have the same problem. When you goto a store you can't really tell the quality cause they split the signal.

I'm loving my brand new NEC FE990-BK monitor

I think the Viewsonic G series are shadowmask, P is aperture. The P95f+ is only $250 @ MWave.

I just picked up a 19" Sceptre Dragon Flat (Flat Screen CRT) from a give away at my University's computer center ... it wasn't supposed to be a freebie - it actually belonged to the Student Assistant's Help Desk but they forgot to put up a sign or anything! Found about about this after I got home from a friend who works there ... well, too bad! IT'S MINE!
