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.

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. Jim L.
