What are the best uses for aperture-grille and shadow-mask CRT monitors?
Within the CRT category, there are two major types of tube monitors: aperture grille and shadow mask. Aperture-grille monitors consist of stripes rather than dots on the screen face and display brighter colors. Although the more common shadow-mask monitors do not offer the vivid colors of an aperture grille, they show a finer text image and are less expensive. Shadow-mask CRTs are suited for word processing and spreadsheets; aperture-grille CRTs are great for the graphics professional.
