The Fimi sucks; it's an embarrassment to NeXT.  The new Sony
is so much better it's not even funny.  We previously refused
to purchase color NeXT systems without 3rd party displays
(Nanao T560i).  In the future we won't hesitate to order
the NeXT/Sony 17" display.

I think it's better than the 21" display (hitachi?), but
some people prefer the larger pixel size.  Note that the
viewing area does not increase since NeXT doesn't seem to
support 1280x1024 or larger displays, yet another curious
hardware decision in NeXT's history.
