I just got a <gasp> Dell monitor for my souped up g4.  It is the  
Ultrasharp 20.1" 2005FPW Widescreen.  Within the last month Dell has  
offered several specials - the latest being $397.  It uses the same  
lcd panel as Apple's cinema display.  Although the CD is more  
glamorous to look at, I like the flexibility in adjusting this one.   
It goes up-down, back-forth, side-to-side and with the proper video  
card it is supposed to do portrait.  I can't test this because I am  
still running with the oem video card that came with my digital audio  
g4.  It connects both svga and dvi and has four aux powered usb 2  
ports - 2 on the bottom edge (hard to get at) and 2 off to the right  
side.  It is spiffy looking at the monitor with my 1 gig Shuffle  
sticking off of it!

As a sacrifice to the Apple gods I did cover the Dell crooked E logo  
at the bottom center with black electrical tape!
