The difference between Sony and Philips' colo[u]r CRTs is historic, and a matter of pride to BOTH companies. Philips thinks their phospers look better than Sony's. I used to work in broadcasting, and we used Philips's cameras (actually Norelco) at the time, and were very pleased with the image quality, but only on US or Sony monitors. Philips could never sell us a monitor. I applaud any effort to provide constructive feedback, and don't mean to sound like a complainer. But to my perspective, this issue was 'resolved' a decade ago, and I just don't see Philips changing their mind now over a complaint from NeXT users. But by all means, give it a go!
