A monitor better then Viewsonic G810?

[quadcells]

Hello All,
Right now I have a Viewsonic G810 21" monitor and realy would like a 21" monitor with a sq flat screen.
Would anyone know what is a good one that is not to pricy?

Thanks in advance

Well the one in my sig is great but price isn't it's strong suit.

The Samsung 1200NF is an excellent buy.

THe Samsung 1200NF has quite the following on this board due to it's good specs and great price.

Nothing beats good price/performance. Look at AMD today.

 

[Taz4158]

It's worth spending extra on a monitor as it's the component you'll probably keep longest.

Ok Where can I buy the Samsung 1200NF?
Thanks

You asked for a flat square tube in your original post. The Samsung 1200NF is not a flat square tube. There are some great flat square monitors on the market at great prices. Check out Hitachi or Cornerstone.

Be advised I work for Cornerstone and admit it, unlike others on this forum.

Good Luck

<< 22&quot; flat aperture grille (20&quot; Viewable) >>

Straight from Samsungs site for the 1200NF...

Look at the Sony G500!

Again the g500 does NOT have a flat square CRT, it is an Aperture grill. I think the original poster was clear on this subject.

I do CAd and believe me, the Samsung 1200NF is the ONLY way to go! Sony's are nice, had one at work when I worked out, but I'll take the 1200NF any day!

Try Eizo's offerings.
Hideously expensive, but so damn good

 

[quadcells]

Yes, I said sq flat. But the 1200NF is NF and the aperture-grill which is like the Iiyama 450AHT 19&quot;. Now that is a nice monitor, I gave it to my son for doing so good in middle school the past two years.
Thanks for all you help.
I think I might get the Samsung 1200NF, if I can get a good $.

Erm Jim, what d'you exactly mean by an AG monitor not being a flat square CRT?

 

[Gosharkss]

&quot;Flat square&quot; historically has been the industry name for conventional &quot;shadow mask&quot; CRT's, ones with a slight curve in two directions like a giant ball. This is the type of CRT used the ViewSonic G810 that the original poster had.

AG tubes historically used &quot;Tron&quot; in their name taking after the Sony Trinitron trademark and are curved in one direction like a cylinder. This is why I could not figure out why everyone was pushing AG style monitors, when the original poster clearly said he wanted a flat square (Shadow Mask) tube.

If the original poster is happy with AG great, I was just tying to stay on topic.
