Tina,

Viewing Angle: 80° (U), 40° (D), 80° (L), 80° (R).

The refresh rate of 85 hz running 1280x1024 in 16.7 million colors is more than
sufficicient for 35 frame/sec movies.  The thing I don't like about these flat
panels is the pixelation you get ie jagged edges.  In addition, the viewing
angle of 80 degrees (10 degrees off-axis) is irritating.  Regular CRT display
terminals allow you to be 45 degrees off-axis without too much image dimming.

Tim

PS Flat panels will get better and much cheaper.  Imagine 40 inch diagonal
monitors by 2005 for under $800.00 US.
