Julian, do you have substantiation for this?  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?
