Lore: Samsung make their own tubes too.

 

[MWink]

My CTX had an LG tube.

 

[LXi]

LG tube? Their Natural Flat tubes are all made by Mitsubishi. Unless you're talking about LG's shadow mask.

 

[Lore]

Yes, but of course. I neglected to mention that I was referring to the flat-screen series.

 

[LXi]

But their own DynaFlat is also flat screen.

 

[tonyou]

iiyama uses both Mitsubishi and Hitachi for their Aperture Grille and shadow mask monitors respectively.

If all other factors are the same, try to get a monitor containing a tube made by Panasonic, Hitachi, Sony, Mitsubishi, or NEC, and avoid Thomson and L-G tubes. I'm not sure about Samsung.
