Have you tried the static test with these monitors.

(i.e., feel the static crackle as you put your hand or hair 
near teh screen.  The Viewsonic seems to have good low radiation
properties and less glare than most cheap monitors.)

Has anyone tested the new NEC low radiaiton monitors.
They look pretty ugly, but seem to have good image resolution
and you definitely can't get any static electricity out of them.
