Summary: 19 inch? Maybe I need a new tape mesurer...
Review: While mesuring the space on my desk compaired to the monitor I noticed something wrong. While the information on my order says 19 inch, and the box says 19 inch, this monitor is only 17 inch! And not even 17 viewable (the box and this site both say 18 inch viewable) - it's only 16 inches veiwable. Thinking maybe it was packed wrong, I just the the number on the modle itself - nope it's the same G90FB.
I would love to know what kind of tape mesure they are using, because this is rather misleading.

Summary: Excellent Monitor
Review: While, as other people have noted, this is not truly a "flat" screen monitor, in the most rigid sense of the word, it is indeed an excellent monitor that I am most pleased with. The refresh rate offered at the resolution of 1600 x 1200 appears to not flicker at all, and the color I see while playing video games (Battlefield: Vietnam; Farcry) is absolutely astonishing.
The only disappointment to this monitor, as I'm sure you've read already, is the fact that it is not as flat as an LCD screen. Don't let that discourage you from purchasing this, though, as it is an incredible monitor. I have not seen better color and performance from any other monitor in the nearby price range. Let me also assuage your worries by explaining that this is indeed a 19" monitor, with what appears to be exactly 18" of viewable screen.
I do not regret my purchase at all, and don't expect to upgrade my monitor for a long period of time.
