What is the difference between ViewSonic model E70B and model E70FB?

Hi mark800,

Comparing the two ViewSonic monitors, I found these very slight differences:

CRT
Dot Pitch
E70fb: 0.21mm horizontal, 0.13mm vertical, 0.25mm diagonal  
E70b: 0.23mm horizontal, 0.13mm vertical, 0.27mm diagonal  

"Dot pitch is a measurement that indicates the diagonal distance
between like-colored phosphor dots on a display screen. Measured in
millimeters, the dot pitch is one of the principal characteristics
that determines the quality of display monitors. The lower the number,
the crisper the image. The dot pitch of color monitors for personal
computers ranges from about 0.15 mm to 0.30 mm."
