It really has nothing to do with image quality. The point is that a higher pricetag is normal for a more rugged industry-spec display. After several trashed TFT TV's in my VJ setup I resorted to buying Bosch CCTV monitors. The consumer spec monitors just weren't up to it.
I should have recognised the problem, since my Philips CM-8833's have also been replaced with the steel cased CCTV versions, which have the same inards, but a more expensive case.
A $200 pricetag is actually quite cheap, if it is REALLY an industry spec display. And the mention of a horizontal frequenty of 15KHz also needs to be confirmed.
