- Well, the Trinitron is brighter, has a better dot pitch, and is much
- better in overall quality. Personally, I'd screw the Sony and get the new
- Macintosh 14" Color Display which replaces the old AppleColor 13" RGB
- display. (FOr $525 at that!) The Apple is much better- its got a
- tilt/swivel, its Trinitron, better dot pitch, better color saturation and
- convergence, as well as being much brighter. Its all a matter of what you
- want to pay. If you've got the money, get the Apple you'll be much happier
- but bif you can only aford the Display Plus, or can live without Trinitron,
- get the Performa monitor. I've used Trinis's for so long I'll never go back
- to matrix screens.
