Sun does use Sony color monitors for their workstations.  (You can tell
by the "defect wires" that traverse the screen.  :-) )  I had a 16"
Sony monitor when I worked at Sun and found it more fatiguing than the
Apple monitor I have on my Mac at home.  Supposedly the Apple monitor
has a finer pitch than the usual Sony monitors used for workstations
and hence appears sharper.  I think that the font and size of the text
being displayed also contrtibutes to monitor fatigue.
