That the monitors are as good as the Apple (or for that matter Sony w/o Apple) ones which use the tube with the support structure which gives the line? I think at very least, your word 'decades' clues that you are not talking about the resolution quality level of modern screens. Further, if memory serves, 2 months ago MacUser or MacWorld did a very complete study of color monitors. Conclusions remembered: Apple w/line is indeed the best possible, Sony w/line is also very good, Conrac lower. Am I wrong? Clive Steward
