i recently saw my first 9000/700.

I was very interested in the system and we actually allready planned
to not only move over from other hp systems but also to begin
using more hp instead of suns.

My disappointment was great when I discovered that hp has moved
from the SONY trinitron monitors to Hitachi.

We work with maging applications for medicine where contrast and
intensity is of paramount importance. We once choose hp instead of
sun because hp had SONY monitors while sun used Hitachi.

Now sun is using SONY and hp Hitachi.
This is so bad for our applications that we will not use the 
9000/700 series until we can buy a SONY color screen with them.

Could someone at hp explain such an absolutely strange
decision ????

First You make a great computer than You choose a monitor taht reduces
the user impression by several dB...
