Well, it just arrived. All I can say after a year of using
the Fimi monitor is:

WOW, BLUE!!!!!


The new monitor is VERY impressive. It is crisp, and clear,
and the colors are WAY WAY WAY better than the old crappy
monitor.



THUMBS UP to NeXT on this one!

Is that a Sony Trinitron? I assume 17".

We have one of the 21" Color monitors, which we bought for $1000 more  
because Next's own folks secretly said the 17" one was BAD. Well I wonder  
how the new Trinitrons compare with the 21" monitor?

Yes, it's a Trinitron, and from what I understand, the Trinitrons
rival the Hitachi 21" monitors, except: less expensive, less
expansive.  (I haven't seen a Trinitron yet, except on old one on a
Sun) Most people don't need a 21" monitor, nor have the desk
real estate for one... The Trinitron fills an important bill -
beautiful color available at a reasonable price.

I have played around on both, and I think that while the 21" is better than the
old 17", the new Trinitron 17" is VERY nice, better even than the 21" for
display quality.  The color saturation is great, and the display is rock solid
and very nice on the eyes.

Now how about a 21" Trinitron?...
