I believe the monitors from Dell are actually Sonys with a new case.
I use one for editing the photos I take with my Leicas and for posting
to the LUG (to veer back in the direction of the list charter), and
it's identical to the Sony I used to have at work.  I suspect that in
the case of the trademark "Trinitron", it probably belongs to Sony for
as long as they're in business.

The monitors I'm talking about are sold under the brand names "KDS" and
"KFC" and they sell for about a third less than an equivalent (?) Sony. They
are sold retail in the places like Best Buy and Circuit City and are clearly
labeled Trinitron. Perhaps a licensing agreement. We're really getting off
topic again aren't we? Sorry.
