Hi,

	I posted a news before saying there's a green light on my new  
replacement in Feb. I got many responses from many people who's curious to  
know whether there exists a new design of the NeXT 17" Color Monitor. 

My summary goes as the following:

	1. there's only one person ever responded to me with the same  
green light indicator on his monitor, and he agrees with me that the  
picture quality of our kinds are much better than the one without a green  
light in his campus lab. 

	2. The manufactured date of my monitor is Feb 91, which is far  
earlier than the actual shipping date of a NSC. And it's still made by  
Philips. So, I suspect that my is one of those they restocked first and  
fine-tuned them before it goes to the customers. They have some new design  
in it which improve the picture quality, but still it's a Philips made  
monitor. The light could be some layout difference from the old ones which  
used to cause a lot of complaints.

	3. There does exist new Monitors which doesn't have the Brightness  
and Contrast knobs on the bottom of the screen nor the green light on it. 
It happens to the most recent order of NSC from NeXT. I think that should  
be the primary model that NeXT is shipping right now. However, I have no  
clue that whether the REAL NEW monitor (without the knobs) is better than  
the one I have or not, since I need to see to compare with it. But the  
only comment from the person who  had seen both said "The new one looks  
very sharp, but his looks better!"  I really don't exactly know how to  
interpret his comment, maybe he can explain more. 

	4. I am not sure about the policy of NeXT, do they just give a 
brand new monitor for the replacement or they replace it with a re-stocked  
and fixed one. That explains why I got the green light, it was the very  
early design and they removed it later on. Apparently, the new order of  
NSC is shipped with a monitor without light and control knobs. 

	If anyone have any new discovery, please feel free to send me  
their opinion and suggestions.
