- Have you tried the static test with these monitors.
-
- (i.e., feel the static crackle as you put your hand or hair
- near teh screen. The Viewsonic seems to have good low radiation
- properties and less glare than most cheap monitors.)
-
- Has anyone tested the new NEC low radiaiton monitors.
- They look pretty ugly, but seem to have good image resolution
- and you definitely can't get any static electricity out of them.
