I am just curious, I do not own a Star Wars, nor do I plan to (sadly :( ), but I am always seeing discussions about Amplifone monitors vs. K6100s. Is there something special about Amplifones?
 
Yes, the Amp is a medium resolution color vector monitor, which provides a sharper picture. At least the 19" is anyway, not sure if the 25" version is. The other issue is the deflection angle of the tube: Amp 19" is 90° and 6100 is 100°. What this means is that if you use a 6100 in a game designed for an Amplifone, the picture will have a slight pincushion effect. Most people don't notice it during gameplay, but it is especially noticeable with a test pattern on the screen.
 
I own both and agree the amp has a cleaner picture.
