What is "nice" about this LCD is that text screens have virtually none
of the pink/green fringeing that you get on CRT TVs. The text
screenshots were done with the clour level at the default setting. If I
turn it up to 100% it starts to show the fringes, but still not that
badly. I've no idea if this would be true of all LCDs.
