Recently, we began to order our new stations with 16" sony
trinitrons, in hopes that this would be a higher quality display
more suited to our CAD applications. Unfortunately, we learned
that there was a feature we hadn't counted on... two thin
horizontal wires (one about 1/3 of the way down from the top of the
screen, the other about 2/3 of the way down) which we have since
learned are "normal" and are there (I think) for mesh
stabilization. Yuck! These visible wires interfere with our work.
When we pointed these out to IBM (they also use the Sony Trinitron) we
were told that this is a design feature and not a design flaw. It was
pointed out that if the screen were being used for a TV then then lines
would not be a problem, but when being used for VLSI design and layout
they are a BUG!!
Now for my question(s). Does anyone know of other high quality
color monitors that will be "plug compatible" with our 3/60 and
3/80 workstationa? If so, perhaps you could pass on a phone number
or address so that I may look into pricing and availability. Also,
for those who now use the trinitron, have you found a way to
minimize this annoyance? Can anyone comment as to whether future
trinitrons will be available without this feature?
What about Hitachi or Mitsubishi?
Please respond by email. I'd be happy to summarize if there is
sufficient interest. Thanks in advance.
