Yes, it was ViewSonic later on.

>It's literally the best monitor original Nokia made. IIRC that monitor has MORE DYNAMIC CONVERGENCE zones than the fucking GDM-F520
It is not the best Nokia monitor. Mine is a rare 125KHz variant of the 445Xpro. It is the *fastest* Nokia monitor on par with 445pro which has a Trinitron tube with a tighter pitch, making it the superior monitor. Nokia 445xi plus is a 110KHz .22 Hitachi SM, which I would consider the best out of Nokia's monitors. It does not have more dynamic convergence zones than the Sony GDM-F520. Nokia has a 5x5 dynamic convergence grid accessible from the service menu, which for 1999 is absolutely insane. But the GDM-F520 has a 7x5 grid iirc. Overall Nokia monitors are excellent, but not the state of the art level as Sony's GDM-F520 or Mitsubishi's 2070SB.

>One of the most unreliable marks of its price class for sure
Haven't had any problems with it yet, seems alright. It's very well built, the shielding is THICK. Nokia TV's are surprisingly garbage, though. I have one and the power button is unreliable, there's a white line in the top part of the screen, various artifacts when connected to either of the SCART inputs (no S-Video or RCA even), and the cherry on top are the absolutely terrible speakers which distort louder frequencies. Only thing good about it is the tube itself, which is a Japan-made Toshiba tube. The picture is sharp and the geometry is good. There were also Nokia TV's manufactured by ITT, those might be better than the ones manufactured by Nokia. Thankfully, I now have a much better Sony Trinitron TV.
