Will someone please comment on the improved clarity (if any) of the new
Sony Trinitron Color monitors over the old Fimi 17 inch monitors?  Is there
THAT big of a difference to warrant selling an old color system and buying
a new one with Trinitron monitor?

How does the new Trinitron compare to the existing 21 inch monitors?

Eric

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.

Trinitron == Rolls Royce
Fimi == Yugo

I never saw blue until I saw the Trinitron monitor using NeXTSTEP.
(But hey, a picture is worth a thousand words, isn't it?)
