Just another data point:  I have an Apple TPD (its called a 21" display I
think, the exposd glass measures 20" and the display area measures 19").  It
is the best monochrome dispaly I have ever used, and I have used lots of
Suns and played with just about everything else (I used to work where they had a
porting lab containing one of (seemingly) everything).  It is clear, sharp,
steady and square and linear corner to corner (it does take about 5 mins to
warm up and achive corner to corner lineararity)   So, I guess this means
that picking a display is hard, since perhaps those in the stores do not
represent what you actually get?  Also getting my TPD at the develeper price
certainly made it all that more attractive.   -jrg
