[Leica] Apple 27" LED Display Questions

[alal at poly.edu (A. Lal)]

Thanks again Chris.

I have a soft spot for NEC, I used their 15" and 17" CRT displays for many 
years.  The 17" CRT was still going strong after 6-7 years of use when it 
was replaced by a Sony 20" LCD. The NEC was put on the sidewalk one Sunday 
morning and walked away by the afternoon. Would not surprise me to learn 
that it is still working well today. I thought they had left the market. 
Next time I'm at one of the big stores I'll have a look at the NECs.

Regards,
Akhil
