I don't know about the NeXT monitor, as all the monitors I have seen have been VERY sharp... both the 21" and 17" monitors seem excellent to me, but I have only seen a couple of each. I do know what the HP 9000s that I use have color monitors (Sonys I believe) and about 1/3 of them have horrible color divergence, a problem that cannot be corrected by adjecting the linerity apparently. The rest of them are excellent, but those 1/3 are unbearable. This is from a lab of roughly 100 machines here. The Sparcs around here also have the same problem (though it's only about 1/5 of them).
