Hitachi CML153XW
The Hitachi display looks identical to the Viewmaster, and they are almost identical on paper as well.
The Hitachi has a slightly higher contrast ratio and a higher price tag. The Hitachi's LCD screen was of a higher quality grade than the Viewmaster, which impacts on image quality and longevity.
The Hitachi appeared to produce a better image than the Viewsonic, but not by much. Colours appeared more vivid and text appeared somewhat sharper.
