Well from what we have seen here in New Zealand that the New Atari
monitor is very pore, it has a dot pitch of 0.42 mm, and with a grey screen.

This is now what your are getting from some of the better TV's..

The First Atari monitor had a 0.38 mm dot pitch with a black screen,
the GoldStar has a 0.39 mm dot pitch, but not much of a black sceen.

There was anothere monitor that I have seen in USA Mags but not here,
this had a slanted on/off switch

I don't rate the new monitor at all, its a funny thing that the Amiga
monitor has had similar changes, its now a 0.42 mm dot pitch with a
grey screen.
