I can't have the manual right now (it's probably at the bottom of a pile of paper somewhere), but I found some specs on an Italian site: http://www.computershop.pisa.it/art1690.htm It says: Flat-square, Black matrix, Invar shadow mask elliptical aperture electron gun, Anti static AR coating [in italian] Medium-persistence phosphor > How long have they shipped non-Trinitron > monitors that are of good quality? The CM751ET is actually discontinued, and I couldn't find much about it on Hitachi's website, but I think it started shipping in mid-1998. I bought mine from my previous employer when I quit - they bought it in mid-1999 for about $400 or $500 (ex. tax) from a wholesale vendor. I'm very satisfied with it; while you can clearly see that it's not a Trinitron, it's still *sharp*, especially with a Matrox MGA G200 AGP driving it (a good RAMDAC makes a big difference!)
