The new NeXT price list (well, it's Oct 15th's, actually) indicates that a  
21" Sony monitor has replaced the old 21" Hitachi monitor, with no price  
change.  It doesn't specifically say Triniton, but some sort of change has  
happened there.  I have not seen the 21" new monitor, so I don't know how it  
compares to the older one.
