Is the 21 inch colour monitor really worth paying twice
the price of the 17 inch one ? 
I would be glad to hear any comments from those people
who have taken the plunge and paid for the big screen.

Dave.

(There didn't appear to be anything in the FAQ about
 this, to my suprise.)

Hi. 

The 21" is really better, but both NeXT color displays are pretty washed out  
and everything else than sharp. NeXT really needs to do something about it. 3.0  
comes with calibrated color nobody will be able to see it. 

If you're not too lazy to open a black paintcan you might want to consider  
getting a Sony Trinitron or now even better one of the NEC FG series. Both are  
at least 300% better in color, sharpness and accuracy. Pricing on these devices  
is LOW. Check out MacWorld for good pricing. I think the 17" NEC goes for under  
2K$. The NeXT 21" lists for OVER 5300 $US in Switzerland.

Who else played with third party monitors ??
