Well, that flat vertical is great at work where all of the lights are overhead, but at home where the lights are around the room at eye level, it's the pits. What does everyone out there think of monitors with etched glass screens? One of the best screens I've ever used at 640x400 (tho noninterlaced) was the Canon PC. It had a 'Sharp' monitor built in, .31 dot pitch I believe, and I was very impressed with the display quality. I use etched glass monitors here for non-Amigas much, and I like them. My biggest complaint with the Sony tube is I have a hard time making out the graphics from among the reflections of the room I'm seeing on the screen. If filters are an answer, then WHY aren't they included plain vanilla? I'm amazed that no one else complains about this problems. Maybe you all sit and program in dark rooms, or with hoods over your CRTs? Have you ever tried to use it for presentations (oh that's right, at work the lights are overhead!)?
