I've never used Netscape, so I can't comment there, though I do find the difference interesting. My earlier comments were really directed at general universal poor quality screen displays (especially with limited contrast options). I still far prefer CRT monitors to flat screens, and I ended up purchasing a very high quality (sony) 17" monitor for about 100 more than I could have bought a generic 19" monitor (where temptation was pointing me). That's really what I meant to say about the expense being worth it. My monitor is even now, still as good as new.
