Difference between Samsung 700IFT and 700IFT-B?

Wait, isn't that monitor like 4 years old?

What if you had admin rights to life?

Yeah, about the 20mm dot pitch, they used tricky old style of measurement, it's actually .24 or .25 I think. Ok, got proof it's old (just to let u know, go ahead and buy it if u want)
Taken from http://www.atic.ca/atic/Product/old-news2000.htm (it takes a while to load)
Jan 20 2000: "Sumsang will discontinue its 700IFT and 900IFT, its first generation flat monitor, replaced by new flat 700NF and 900NF.
At same time they will intruduce the low price level of the flat monitors too (700DF, 900DF )."
(later they restarted the series b/c people liked em so much)
Dates of it being on sale go back to sep 24 1999, although it was sold before that.

So would it still be a good idea to buy it....i mean even if its not the latest it offers good quality. Anybody recomend anything else?

Wrong again.

While the diagonal dot pitch has historically been the measurement standard,
it doesn’t work for aperture grill monitors. Aperture grille is constructed using a series of “stripes” instead of dots. Thus, there is no diagonal measure and aperture grille manufacturers quote the “stripe pitch” also known as the horizontal dot pitch. Obviously this is a shorter measure and shadow mask manufacturers responded by publishing their horizontal dot pitch to allow consumers to accurately compare between the two technologies. The horizontal measurement is an apples to apples comparison because the phosphor dots on a shadow mask are aligned in neat columns just like an aperture grill.
