Samsung makes excellent monitors, and they tend to sell at competitive prices. If you are looking for a 17-inch LCD monitor, the Samsung SyncMaster 173P is stunning. PCWorld rated both its graphics and text output as "outstanding." Here it is for $595, with free shipping, which is $100 less than the equivalent Apple monitor: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X 292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=125991&_LOC=US Randy B.
