I noticed too. I think getting the 23" 1920 x 1200 for $2K to go major 
TwinView with my Radeon 7500 Cube and my old Mitsubishi 1600 x 1200 CRT 
is more attractive than getting a new 12" APB or dual 1.25GHz PowerMac. 
3520 x 1200 is serious real estate. Two of those puppies will be the 
ultimate desktop for 2003 - 3840 x 1200 All Flat Space - wow. One could 
almost give up needing LiteSwitch X. ; ^ )

I imagine that the sales of all of these TFT displays are going to be 
through the roof.
