As you probably know, Apple sources most (all?) of its LCD monitors from 
Samsung, of which it owns a good chunk.

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:
