That viewsonic is nice, however, the 900 y value is a tad low for me, and as an artist you will probrably want a little more.

My monitor consumes 48watts however the viewsonic consumes 35W.

I do notice however that my screen has a refresh response of 16ms, whereas the viewsonic is 8ms, so the viewsonic is a nice monitor. I just don't like the 900 Y resolution!

Ok, so that's almost too much info, but I always look to save my electricity bill :-)

[edit]

It's not OK to open a CRT. if you do, just don't *TOUCH* the internals.

I got myself pasted to a wall once :)
