Subject: [Leica] #190 A Flat Panel iMac
From: Afterswift@aol.com

I saw an illustration of a flat panel iMac in The Times early this year. The 
only reason it wasn't  marketed at that time was, Apple said, the high price 
of the panels. Since then the panels have come down in price. It seems that 
the age of the CRT will be over next year. And the tower will also share 
popularity with the compact flat case. The panel iMac uses a flat case. 

I use a 15" 150S Philips flat panel with my Dell 450. It weighs only about 12 
lbs, will work with PCs and Macs, is equal to a 17" CRT monitor in actual 
area, and carries a 3-year warranty. The quality of the image is about the 
same as a Trinitron CRT. It uses about 22 Watts and leaves plenty of open 
desk space. What more could we ask? I doubt whether I'll every buy a CRT 
again.
