Cheers Peoples. well, another little problem croped up today, more a matter of info. Zenith produce a monitor called a ZCM-1492. It has a color tube that is actually 0 degrees, as in totally flat. it also has an excellent antiglare and brilliant gloss jet black phosphor color. I am curious if anyone knows who manufactures the tube. I have previous delt with sony, until the zenith was put to the test. for the shape it is , its convergence for each of the far corners is excellent, bloody brilliant in fact. Does anyone else use this kind of tube. Can it be obtain for custom manufacture.? Thanks in Advance. Steve h

As I understand it, the Zenith flat-screen colo(u)r CRT is made by Zenith,
and Zenith is (are) extremely proud of it. |

Zenith makes it themselves; it's called the Flat Tension Mask tube, and many of the monitors they make using it have "FTM" somewhere in the model number to show this. I believe that Zenith IS selling the tube to outside customers; at the intro of this technology a few years ago, they weren't doing anything bigger than 14" at approx. VGA resolutions, but I believe that they have or are close to having a 19" that'd be good for at least 1024x768 now or "real soon now." Bob Myers KC0EW HP Graphics Tech.
