slowly but surely, the differences are eroding between LCD monitors sold for computers and LCD televisions sold for the living room. Both are getting bigger, cheaper, and better. Only trouble is, there isn’t one display (that I could find) that has the best features of both. Either the resolution is too low for decent computer usage (like Dell’s LCD TVs) or they’re super-high resolutions (like Apple’s LCDs) without hookups for non-desktop computer hardware.
Here’s what I’m looking for — a super bad ass 16:9 LCD, preferably 24” (or larger), DVI input for the G5, and component / HD hookups for a HD cable box or even a PlayStation 3 (whenever that comes out). That way I can have one multipurpose display in my home office that can be used for work and play, since I’m never doing both at the same time.dicuss...

I just got a Dell 24" to use with a Dell laptop and MacMini (switching sources)... alongside my Apple 23". The Dell has amazing range of inputs (5?), reaalllyy bright! (too bright, and a bit purple?), and it goes up/down, swivels (OSX can rotate its display), Picture in Picture, etc.....
not bad for £600..
