Default Re: OT: 17" CRT Monitors..

Double WoW! I just found out the Viewsoniv A70f+ Monitor I'll be getting is also able to display HDTV (With the Viewsonic NextVision N6 unit.) It's definately an 'added bonus' that I'm sure to take advantage of in the future.

It looks like I'll be getting it on Saturday, I sure hope they still have stock left.

Cheers!

Fanfare please..

I just bought the ViewSonic A70f+ and omg What a sharp picture, and this 'FlatScreen' is going to take me a good week to get used to.

My first impression was that the tube (image) looked concave as opposed to my old convex (Fisheye) 14" monitor.

I'm very happy with this purchase. I still have to try out my DVD's and see how good this UltraBrite mode is for viewing movies, and of course games. I'll post my reactions on those a bit later.

Cheers!

Edit: The DVD playback is very nice, the touch of a button to put it in 'UltraBright' mode makes the colors and image pop out and is very clear. Now to test a few games...

..It's fun playing Starfury in a window now.

ViewSonic is the most likely the only monitor I'll ever buy due to their outstanding quality at the high end product line. I've owned an E770, a PF790 (drool), and a G90.

I'm thinking of going 21". Viewsonic, of course.

Also, their service is is good. After 3 months of owning my PF790 (19"), Viewsonic sent me a brand new one, no charge due to a strange anomaly.
