Yeah, the Trinitrons rule. When you put them next to shadow mask CRTs of the era (580 series, and Apple's downmarket 14" monitor), the difference is so great it's not even funny. It's a shame - an LC580 can take a giant, cheap IDE HD, but its shadow mask screen still makes it inferior to the Trinitron-based LC575.

At any rate, that's a great haul, Cory! Original packaging - and that sticker is pretty rare. Unlike on the CCs, where the QT sticker is almost impossible to remove in one piece, most of the LC5xx series have had their stickers removed long ago. (In fact, judging from the fact that one hardly ever sees a telltale non-yellowed area where the sticker was, I presume most of them had their stickers removed early in life, perhaps because they were in school environments a lot of the time).

Best,

Matt
