So... then they aren't as sharp as a CRT... nut-baggs...

I'm still lookin for a good monitor, I thought plasma might be "the way" oh well...

I would look at either a Sony or a NEC. 0.24 dot pitch. You want also high refresh rate.

Sony CPD-E540 supposed to be very good.

But I'm crunchin my balls over this... I cant "see" them in person, so I've no idea how sharp they are, I bought into the idea that Apperature Grille was sharp (but the claim was in reference to crisp images not text). I'd like to see in depth reviews on these monitors by someone who isn't selling them, or see them in person. ARGHHHH! I had a later post asking for referances but I only really got promotions of monitors that the people already had :rolleyes: helpfull, but I'm still without a 20" (viewable) monitor.
