- I am surprised to read that, I thought the new NEC has much better specs now,

- I know this one can use all the modes for any Amigas. And it's quite nice

- Sony and Seiko uses Sony tubes, and it's my favorite. It's bright and nice
- color, and cylindrical. Somewhat reflective from side, but not from top light,
- Zenith FTM will be better if they have better quality control, since they
- are absolute flat and actually concave inwards.
- I don't know much about IDEK.
