Like I said, "Back in the day...". I think I got this in 2001 or 2002 when CRT's were still prevalent and LCD's sucked for gaming and graphics work. It is also, as reflected in the model name, a professional series monitor because of its high resolution support (Up to 1920x1440@77Hz, so no flicker even at high res) and high level of color accuracy. This thing actually has BNC inputs for red green and blue (as well as standard VGA of course)! I don't know why I ever thought I was going to use them because I never did and only ever used the VGA connection.
