Why oh why can't Dell etc put these panels in normal LCD monitors?

Dunno. They'd sell more? *shrug*

My best mate has a 17" 1280*768 widescreen TV/TFT. I've tried looking around but can't find where to get them from and he can't ask as it was a present. I'll find make/model no.s if you're interested.

Hmmm, funnily enough the apple displays are the closest to what I was looking for. They are still a bit on the pricey side though. It's weird that you cant buy a screen approaching my laptop screen (which is only 15.4" but manages 1680x1050 - the same as the "smaller" apple) in a desktop version.

Choices. Maybe dual screens is the way to go...What's the best 17" on the market?

For this money, I'd be looking for front projection...

Er, it's not for a home cinema... ???

the apple 20" link screen (about £800 - sorry i think this is excluding vat) does 1600 by something or other (1050?) - we had one in work the other day... VERY nice.

considering the price of the apple one, i don't think you're going to find anything better / cheaper ?

[directhex]

perhaps, josh, but an adapter to plug it into a real computer is £100

i'd go the dual 17" route, a pair of iiyama prolite e431s

I have a pair of viewsonic 18's at work and they are wubberly

[directhex]

well somebody had to do it

[Stoo]

adc-dvi convertor £45 if anyone wants to go that route

[DaBeeeenster]

The prolite e431s are around 330 notes - Is that about right?

[directhex]

yer, think so
