LG Flatron 915ft plus

ok, i think this might be the moniter i'm gonna go with, but there's one thing i'm not sure about. Is this moniter a aperture grille or shadow mask? i couldn't find anything stating either kind.
Also, if anyone has any comments/reviews on this moniter i'd be glad to hear what you have to say about it before i buy it.
thanks

never heard of slot mask..is this a good thing?

My brother has the LG 915+ and loves it very much. I've used it and I like it too. Good monitor for a good price.

Heres a very good page explaining the 3 types:

<font color=red>Aperture Grill</font color=red>
<b>Pro:</b>

<b>Con:</b>

- Jagged edges on the diagonal line
- Distorts horizontal linearity when graphic elements rendered on the edge of the grill.

<font color=red>Slot Mask</font color=red>
<b>Pro:</b> All the advantages above.
<b>Con:</b> Not as bright as Aperture Grill

I've had the 915FT for about a month now.. After adjusting and fiddling with the image geometry, I'm still not entirely happy with it, there's still some cruvature to the left and right, and a minor upward curve on the top left. It seems like there's still some minor miss-alignment at the alignment features in the 'Special adjustment' menu don't fix it. Super-fine text looks slightly blury on the left half of the screen, that's probably a symptom of the imperfect geometry. (I know it may sound picky, but sheesh, my cheapo Acer 17" was dead straight, and sharp!)

I am satisfied with the brightness, colour, etc. I really like how it's flat, but doesn't look concave like most trinitrons - it truly LOOKS flat.
