The high contrast and brightness of the FTM were great, but there is one drawback. The FTM is a 14" monitor, while the Apple is 13". Both use the same number of pixels (640 x 480). That means that many bitmap fonts look poor on the FTM because of the increased jaggies. All in all, I liked the FTM but I don't think I would use it as the sole monitor on my Mac. As a second monitor (for presentation graphics etc..) I think it's unbeatable. ----- Greg DeMichillie Apple Student Rep - UC Davis lgdemichillie@ucdavis.edu AppleLink: ST0178 Disclaimer: If you've seen one disclaimer, you've seen them all. ----- Greg DeMichillie Apple Student Rep - UC Davis lgdemichillie@ucdavis.edu
