The Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 91TXM hits the monitor market with electron guns blazing. The 21-inch addition to the Diamondtron aperture-grille monitor line uses a P-NX DBF (dynamic beam forming) electron gun to reduce beam spot size and the spread between a spot's horizontal and vertical axes. The result is a sharper picture, especially in the screen's corners.
Mitsubishi claims the DBF gun is at least an inch shorter than any other electron gun, making for a compact 21-inch monitor with a 19.7-inch viewable area.The CRT has a 0.28mm aperture-grille pitch and supports a maximum resolution of 1600x1200 pixels at a 76Hz refresh rate, and a 30kHz to 95kHz horizontal scanning range.
The monitor's new tubular steel pipeframe holds the tension mask in place to improve the beam landing. Geared toward graphics professionals, this monitor is DDC-compliant for Plug and Play, and meets major emissions and power management standards.

Those phosphors on your monitor are about to take on a new shape. The 15-inch Smile CB6536SL and 17-inch Smile CB6736SL use NEC's new Cromaclear CRT technology to combine features from dot-trio and aperture-grille monitors into a slot mask, giving the phosphors an elliptical shape.
Each monitor's electron gun shoots beams through a slotted shadow mask screen to a striped phosphor screen. The resulting illuminated phosphors appear elliptical, not round as in shadow mask monitors or striped as in aperture-grille monitors. The monitor has a 0.25mm slot pitch display. According to Smile, the new technology improves color saturation, focus and contrast.
The CB6536SL has a 13.6-inch viewing area and the CB6736SL provides a 16-inch viewing area. Both produce 1280x1024-pixel resolution images at a 60Hz refresh rate and meet all major low radiation standards.
