It's -definitely- the Macintosh portable. I was the engineer at Apple who
was responsible for measuring the quality of that display, and spent much of
my time at Hosiden's factory outside Osaka. Fun days...

If I was asked I'd definitely say the Macintosh Portable.
I'd say this because this computer was one of the first to use active matrix
screen technology. Do remember, in 1989 that was more or less new
technology!
I hate to do this, but I'm going to have to limit this to laptops with
monochrome screens. The last time I did a poll on this list (Top 10: Best
laptop keyboard) it went totally off.
