I have yet to see any monitor that comes even close to Sony's quality. If this should be true I have only one comment: BUHHH! All of our Suns here have Sony monitors and they are great. I have seen a lot of the so called "high-quality" workstation monitors, but none of them are as good as the Sony ones. One thing is sure, if NeXT is not selling Sony monitors, then Sony will be. Too bad that then we will have to settle with the gray case...
