Its quite a while since I last looked at the specs and AFAIK that they
are not LCD monitors but TFT. As such they differ in that each pixel
is a transistor making up the whole display. early on they had real trouble
with the burning out of some tranies, giving a 'measels' display and I
did not buy one myself as I needed a 19" display for my 70+ eyes.
They are also reported not to refresh well enough when watching movies.
