I'm not sure why this is a Mac question. DVD zone setting applies the
same to Macs as PCs (set after 5 plays). If you have the new LCD iMacs
(we call them "iLamps"), then is your question one of video quality on
an LCD vs. a CRT? Since the Apple Stores regularly play DVDs on their
flat LCDs on display, I'm sure the quality is just fine.
