Hi
        Recently I brought a 17" monitor; at that time I did some research
on the net.
This are the stuff I got from few sites. 

****************************************************
Q. What is the Importance of Dot Pitch?  
A. The RGB (red green blue) color beams of a monitor pass through a metal
plate called a shadow 
mask. The purpose of the mask is to keep the electron beams precisely
aligned with their targets 
on the inside of the CRT's screen. The CRT's dot pitch is the measurement of
how close the shadow
mask's holes are to each other; the closer the holes, the smaller the dot
pitch.
The smaller the dot pitch, the sharper the image. 

Q: Why is dot pitch important?
A: The picture on your monitor is made up of lots of tiny dots of the same
color. The dot pitch 
is the distance between dots that make up the image on your CRT. The smaller
the distance 
between dots, the better the image.

****************************************************

These are definitions, I do not know how much it is going to help you in
taking decision.

Bye
Ramesh

A question for the "digitally enabled".

I'm in the process of upgrading my obsolete hardware and I'd like to
know you opinion.
I decided to buy a 19" monitor. Space and cost constraints limit the
choice but I'd like to have a good one within those limits.

I have two option from the same brand, the difference is only in the dot
pitch: one is 0,27, the other 0,25. In between there is a 30% increase
in cost (slightly more than 100$) for the better one. Otherwise they
seem equal.

Does the smaller dot pitch make a difference big enough to justify the
further expense?

TIA, Flavio
