We just bought an eMac last night. we had been waiting for about month just to see by chance if anything big came thru at MWexpo. Well as you know it didn't. I'll have to say the iMacDV 400 screen looks tiny now. As for the the white color, it's gloss white very shiny and clean looking. On the other hand the iMac FP have a very dull matte finish and the ones on display at Compusa were showing fingerprints and smudges all over them. It's the kind on finish you see on most beige monitors that look extremely dirty after a year or two. We were going for the most bang for the buck. I think we got it. I didn't really care what it looked like. But I think it looks great now in the house. As for the monitor clarity, to me there was no comparsion, the eMac is crystal clear and the iMac FP has some rough jagged text even with font smoothing turned on. One note the eMac not the quietest computer around, the fan is definitely making its presence known but it's not nearly as loud as the hard drive in the iMacDV.
