I didn't say it was the same monitor, I said it had the same picture
tube.  Both are TRINITRON picture tubes, and you can verify it by looking
for the dark line 2/3 of the way down the screen.  I think SONY has a
patent on TRINITRON tubes.

If you have an AppleColor monitor, you'll notice that the borders are
very wide.  That's because they're not using the 800*600 resolution.
The trim even covers some useful area of the picture tube.

I don't see how Apple can throw away pictures tubes looking for a
"good" one for each monitor they produce.  Besides, I was under the
impression that the AppleColor monitor was manufactured by Sony for
Apple, but I may be wrong.

Are you saying that Sony video products have inferior quality?  Are
you familiar with Sony television products?
