There are no other Sony than Trinitron types.

Sony had the patent of this type of monitor, patent that expired back in 
1998. Meaning everybody now is entitled to fabricate that type. 
"Trinitron" still is a protected trademark, thus other manufacturers 
have to give their product another name. So you can look for Diamandtron 
as well for instance.

In a nutshell, Trinitron type uses an "aperture grill" for managing the 
electrons whereas the more commun types us a "shadow mask" (= sieve).

As a result colours etc... are more "filled", giving more body the the 
screen.

Do have a Google search for "Trinitron + apaerture grill".
