That really should be split into two different

plasma and lcd's are two completely different animals. I've got a
Compaq Portable III with a nifty plasma display, along with a GRiD
386 tank that has one as well.
Hey, what's with the new rules? He never specified that it had to be LCD
technology.
But, for LCD's, the Mac would be hard to beat. The
screen on my
GRiD 2270 is nice, but not as crisp as the Mac's.
The 2270 has a standard nasty passive matrix monochrome display. Ever try
an HP OmniBook 300? It has a passive monochrome display, but it's
reflective and works great outdoors.
How about the worst display on a portable? Had to be the Casio/Tandy/Grid
Zoomer -- high glare, non-backlit and nearly opaque because of the touch
screen. But what a fun toy.
