I hate those trinitron CRTs for text viewing. They have greater light
output than shadowmask and look cool on graphics but they have
softer edge focus and suck on text IMO.
I had a Viewsonic P95f and sent it back.
It couldn't display small fonts at rated resolution
using the Nokia monitor test.
Its freeware, check it out.

I even talked to Viewsonic customer service and they said the Trinitrons
have "softer focus" characteristics than other mask types.
I was at Frye's checking out all their monitors and the one with
the sharpest text was the cheapest.
Funny how advances in technology aren't always for the
better in some applications.
