I've just heard an interesting little tidbit about those Zenith FTM monitors...
it seems that after a while (don't know how long) the mask gets out of
alignment and the result is a rainbow or halo around characters, shapes, etc.

They sure look nice in the store window, but as it always is with new
technologies, the early buyer often ends up being the guinea-pig as the
manufacturers try to get the glitches out of their new toys.

Multiscanning technology has been around for a few years now, and we're
starting to see second-generation multiscanning tubes (NEC for one).  I
feel more secure with the multiscan monitors at this time.
