I think he was referring to the behavior of the screen under Linux, as
compared to e.g. MS-Windows.
But as far as the display itself, you're right, it's definitely not
something you want to mail order if you can avoid it. The last time I
saw the `monitor' floor at LAOX, there were about 25 different models;
some of them really, really, sucked (dim, fuzzy), but some were quite
brilliant (Sharp and NEC, in particular, had some *stunning* displays).
