the g90fb is 19 inch, which i like, and it doesn't use an apeture grille, which ive heard show lines on white pages or something?(never used one...) but its also ~$60 cheaper...

any input would be nice

Unless you feel that you *need* a 19in monitor then I would save money and go with the 17in.

What are you using just now/beforehand?

I've got a G90f, I'm assuming the added B is for Black model? If so, I'd check viewsonic's website for the monitors specs. Mine only does 1600x1200. I'm thinking you haveta get up to the P series for higher res. Mine is a few years old so maybe they have changed quite a bit. Even though mine only goes to 1600x1200 I really like it, its a pretty nice monitor for the price.

peace.

Edit: Here's (http://www.viewsonic.com/products/crt_g90fb.htm) specs, I stand corrected. I better check and see if mine will do more 8)
