All my rumors indicate Apple DID have a fit with Sony; why do you
think it took so long to bring the Apple color monitor to market?

The Sony Trinitron monitors are generally acknowledged to be the
sharpest available.  If the price for this crispness is a hardly
noticeable shadow from a stabilizing wire, I may not like it but I'd
rather have the shadow than eystrain from fuzzy text.

Personally, I don't think the shadow makes a bit of difference; I
never notice it unless I'm looking for it, and I find this is true of
most others also.  But since it does seem to bother a few people, how
about a more constructive conversation than just flaming Apple/Sony;
does anyone know of a monitor as crisp as the Apple/Sony monitor which
DOESN'T have any shadows?
