- No. The reason Apple calls it a 14" is because VGA monitor manufacturers
- (such as NEC) have lately been including unused screen area
- when describing the screen size. In fact, contrary to a popular rumor, the
- new Apple 14" has the exact same Trinitron picture tube as the old 13".
- However, Apple re-designed the analog board so the picture is brighter,
- but it uses less power than before. I read my technical descriptions
- like a good rep...
