- Only one model outthere which I haven't had a view of, that is the 6F 15"
- (in Australia anyway). There aren't any 15" trinitron tubes to my brief, and I should
- think there isn't a trinitron Viewsonic model outthere.
- Viewsonic NIs are quite nice things for making life. I'd had a 6L 3 months ago
- which I sold recently just because I dislike egg-shaped(non-flat) screens. But if
- you don't seem to disgust at non-flat CRTs, go for a 5e 14" which is a lot better
- than the 6L since it supports faster 72mhz refresh rates. That sounds quite significant
- to me. Or if you prefer a more comfortable and nice-looking flat screen, look at the
- 6F 15" which should be a newer model(claimed to support VESA's 72 mhz, too).
