For those who prefer to do their monitor shopping overseas -- or, you know, live there --
Daysis has got another option to make your decision a bit harder. The 23-inch DAY232TP packs decent, if not spectacular specs, with a 600:1 contrast ratio, 12 ms response time, 300cd/m2 brightness and, of course, that 1920 x 1200 resolution all the cool kids demand these days (not unlike that
Quixun also competing for your attention today). What's more, it'll also double as a TV, with a built-in tuner and bundled remote, as well as picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture functions. Otherwise, you'll get the standard DVI and VGA inputs, though you'll have to settle for S-video or composite if you're planning on hooking this up to something other than a computer. The superstitious among you may want to steer clear of this one though: at the current exchange rate it'll run you an even $666.

Ummmm...DVI is a standard connection for lots of non-computer equipment--cable boxes, DVD players, etc. Not to mention that HDMI to DVI cables are commonplace.
i think id rather have a 24 inch imac, not to mention the 666:)
Well you can't connect an external source to an iMac, so no Xbox 360, HD-DVD, etc.
true, but for a few more hundred i get one sweet computer and one more inch of screen, it all depends what your wants/needs are
a few hundred more? I thought the iMac 24" was $2000 US?
Daaamn, nice size, nice rez, *and* a TV tuner? Sounds great. If I got one of these, I wouldn't even need my TV anymore, as I basically just use it for console games.
Actually you can connect a xbox 360 to an iMac.
But you need to have the Elgato Hybrid EyeTV: [url]http://faq.elgato.com/index.php/faq/more/443/[/url]
EDIT: Just not in HD yet :P
Damn look at the picture quality on that thing
sign of the beast?!! (cowers in fear)

Scrubs in HD, all the way
