After using the crisp display on my SonyVaioJammer, I realized how much my desktop monitor sucks; Ralph and EricM? corroborated the feeling that I need a FlatPanelDisplay.
I like the idea of integrated speakers... maybe even USB... but the displays that get the best reviews don't seem to have them.
- Dec 2001: I decided that the speakers were worth getting (one less power brick in the wall...) but not the USB hub. I've got an NEC MULTISYNC LCD1700M+ on order from NECX. 96dpi, per manual
Amazaon has this Envision EN-7100 for just $549.99. The customer reviews rave.
Among the flat-panel displays at best-buy this compaq 17 inch looks interesting; cheap and includes speakers.
Apple wants $999 for their 17 inch Apple Studio Display . What makes it so special? Of course, they use a special connector, so there's no way it can get mixed up in the commodity marketplace. Hm... does that mean there's no way to use a G4 Mac with a commodity flat panel display?
Acer LCD FP751 has built-in speaers and 2-port USB hub. Starting at $518 at yahoo stores.
This PC tech guide is interesting... seems TFT is a subclass of LCD. Not much consumer-buying-guide sorta stuff, though...
Ah... cnet on flat panel displays timely: 21Nov.
