Too bad.) I saw the Phillips monitor last week. Its seems sharp near the center, but the edge regions of the monitor are pretty fuzzy---menus in the upper right are nearly illegible, for example---like looking at text close up on a TV screen. I wonder if maybe improved focusing could fix this? Definitely a mistake if NeXT _increases_ the price of this product. -- Barry Merriman UCLA Dept. of Math UCLA Inst. for Fusion and Plasma Research barry@math.ucla.edu (Internet)
