Which is fair enough - the larger CRTs tend to be better than the larger TFTs.
19" seems to be the 'sweet spot' where you can still get decent quality.
That said, a 19" TFT is 19" viewable - a 20" CRT could be anything from 17
to
19.5" viewable.
Plus the CRT phosphor persistence helps when playing
videos.
I've not had any trouble with video on the Viewsonic. Only problem I've had is
when switching from analogue to digital when both sources have the same
display resolution. Seems the firmware can't handle that, and just locks up
(you have to unplug it to get a picture again). Oh, and it seems to come up in
analogue mode on startup - unplugging the VGA cable from the KVM might fix
that little issue though.
