I'm another Viewsonic CRT fan, I used to have a E70f (flatscreen) and it was awesomely sharp with a lovely colour rendition. Certainly the best 17inch I had ever used or seen. Not a fan of their TFT Flatplanels though, which relatively speaking had no technological advantage over competitors imo. The CRT's did, and topped a lot of spec tables around 99-2000 (It was why I got mine, I didn't regret it one bit, and even put off the TFT transition to free up desk space because I liked it that much).

I still have a 21" SGI GDM-5411P in storage (from 2001) which is simply a rebranded Sony Trinitron (so same as a lot of Dell's at the time). It was a good CRT, but not great and developed a red tint after a while (which annoyed the pedant in me). It still quite usable, even when using colour heavy software for a number of years and only obvious when all the other lights in the room were turned off 😀
It's unlikely you'll find anyone else using those old Silicon Graphics CRT's as they use 13w3 (not VGA) and so wouldn't work with about 99.9999999999% gfx cards available to use with x86 (I don't even think a IrisVision has 13w3 connector? In which case that percentage may be 100! but idk).
