I emailed Iiyama about this very subject around a month ago, and got a
reply within 24 hours -- most impressive.

Anyway, the reply didn't ask me to keep the contents of the email
hush-hush, so let me quote the relevent part of the email:


\begin{reply}

Unfortunatley, iiyama does not manufacture a DiamondTron 19" monitor at
the present moment.  The manufacturers of the DiamondTron tube
(Mitsubishi) are developing a new technology called The Natural Flat
CRT, which iiyama shall adopt when completed, but we do not expect to
launch any products until late in the year.  I am unaware of any 19"
DiamondTron products, although Sonys Trinitron technology works along
the same lines.  It is aperture grille technology, but uses a one gun,
three beam system instead of a three gun, three beam system as the
DiamondTron, so maybe you could view one and see what you think.

I am saving my pennies as I speak...
