Well, my Apple color monitor just arrived (who says Christmas is in December?).
My initial impression is that it is FAR clearer than the NEC Multisync
that I had borrowed while waiting for the Apple one.  Especially B&W text
is much easier to read, and it appears that more gradations of color
are visible in the color-picker.  All in all, MUCH better.

However, 2 strange things:

o When looking at a page of B&W text, there is a slight smudge to the right
of the line of characters, and

o There is that rumored horizontal line about 2/3 down the screen.

Can anyone provide info on whether these are "normal" events, or sample
defects?  Especially the line seems just too obvious a defect in the
otherwise astounding clarity of the screen...
