Mitsubishi 19" FD1998 Diamond View Flat Screen Monitor

http://www.mmt.com.au/cgi-bin/prices...it-1998fd.html


Hi there,

I'm thinking of getting a new monitor - I'm using a SONY trinitron 14inch -
which I got in 1997 My system specs are PIII 850, Asus CUV4X PC133 AGP
Pro/4X motherboard, 512MB RAM,
Western Digital 40mb (8mb buffer) HD, and an ASUS Geforce4 Ti4800.

Has anyone else used the Mitsubishi 19" FD1998 Diamond View Flat Screen
Monitor ?

I'm getting for US$200 or Australian $430. Seems a decent price. But never
used a mitsubshi before.

cheers,

JM

I believe you'll be fine as many CRT manufacturers use Mitsubishi tubes.

I have a Mitsubishi DiamondPro 900u bought in 1998. It was the first
19" perfectly flat CRT (Mitsubishi DiamondTron tube). I still use it and
it's an *amazing* monitor. Sonys and even other Mitsubishis don't
compare.

I don't know how the above monitor compares with it, check the monitor
you listed with the specs on the 900u . If it uses the same tube and
essentially same specs, it'll be a good monitor.

Regards,
John.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to bargin down the monitor and see
whether I can get it for US$140 or A$300. I'm looking forward to it. My old
Sony is great but its too small.
