:	The colors appear against a coal-black background, on
: a flat surface, and no Sony product can touch it.  If you want
: to see a really good Mac display, get an interface card that
: can drive a VGA monitor (Lapis makes one, I hear), and connect
: the Zenith FTM screen to it.

Sorry for the drift (from the original question about the infamous
``line'' on Trinitron displays, to this discussion of the Zenith
FTM), but if you are seriously interested in the Zenith, rather than
hacking up a VGA interface for your Mac I would recommend checking
out the ColorPage 15 by E-Machines.  This uses the Zenith FTM display
with a custom graphics card which is slightly larger than the standard
Apple card (something like 750x520???).  I'm not sure about list
prices and such, but if you want a larger desktop than the Apple
color monitor, and don't like the Sony displays this might for you.
