The reason I ask is that those have 2 thin black horizontal wires embedded in the screen (for stabilization purpose) which are quit visible at close range, and rather distracting to some folks. -- Barry Merriman UCLA Dept. of Math UCLA Inst. for Fusion and Plasma Research barry@math.ucla.edu (Internet)

Every Sony monitor I have seen has had such platinuous wire(s) whatever the monitors size is. I suggest these have the wires too. Sony's engineers should invent some better solution to their monitors. These wires put Sonys otherways nice monitors out of consideration in many cases.

I agree the lines are annoying, but they can get away with it as long as other aspects of their screens are so much better than the competition. I'd much rather live with a couple of barely visible lines than this horribly unfocussed screen I'm using now on a DECstation. -- Philip Machanick philip@pescadero.stanford.edu

I suggest they sell under the name Nanao in U.S.A. These are good monitors, but at first look new 19" CRTs from Hitachi look even better (they are for example Silicon Graphic's choice in addition to Sony monitors). If you want to take a glance don't by mistake look the old Hitachi CRTs which are horribly unfocusssed ones (and SGI also had them).

Ok guys, fess up. Has anyone actually connected a GDM 1936 20" Sony monitor to the NeXT? And why does the poor fellow who has to take tech support calls at Sony say that there is no Sony 16" that can sync to NeXT? Is this a matter of internal adjustment? It will all be moot after the tenth anyway due to NeXT's price restructure. I have a chance to get the Sony's with three slabs and I'm looking for any information I can get.

What does this restructuring mean?
Please post to the net. I would like to know also. Does this mean
that you should buy your favorite NeXT now? Are we going to find out
how great of a deal NeXT has been offering all along?
