I do see that it has an aperture grille. Whatever that is |

There's two main types of CRT monitors: 1: Shadow Mask. This is your "regular" type of monitor, with (roughly) circular red, green and blue subpixels, due to a "shadow mask" with lots of tiny pin holes in it. 2: Aperture Grille: This is like a Sony Trinitron TV, where the mask doesn't have pin holes, but consists of red, green and blue vertical bars. The main advantage of an aperture grille monitor is that less of the monitor surface is taken up by the mask, giving greater contrast and colour clarity. There's a couple of disadvantages too, though. To prevent the whole thing from being too unstable, there's usually two horisontal threads that only serve to stabilise the grille. If an image is all white, you can usually see these as two very thin horisontal stripes across the monitor. Another disadvantage is that despite these threads, aperture grille monitors don't always travel well. Parts of the vertical mask can be knocked ever so slightly out of place, with colour deformities and/or lack of clarity in part of the monitor as a result. Finally, they are usually a tad more expensive than shadow mask monitors. Still, many people prefer the clearer picture and better contrast an aperture grille monitor gives. I'm one of them. Since Sony has all but stopped making CRT displays (at least within the price range of normal people), other CRT manufacturers have filled the gap, and taken over production. The Nec/Mitsubishi DiamondPro monitors, for example, are produced at the same plants and with the same components as the Sony F series, with the main difference being the adjustment controls. Hope that helps! -- *Art |
