Perhaps I was too abrupt in my reply.  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!
