    My original 1420 came with a CMO1426 screen. A replacement system because of a warped bottom came with a SEC1357. I can see a difference between the two, especially with the whites. The CMO is yellowish and the SEC is pinkish. I will have to return the system with the CMO screen, but I was wondering if anyone prefers one over the other.

    Very interesting. What about colors and brightness? Are they the same?
    Does one of them shom grainyness?

    I've also noticed that greens are fainter on the SEC, almost fading to white.
