Quixun's 23-inch QHD-M23W widescreen LCD

Japanese manufacturer Quixun has given its massive 30-inch widescreen display a little bro, announcing the matching QHD-M23W monitor for those looking for something a little less monolithic. At 23-inches though, it's still sure to impress, with a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, 400:1 contrast ratio, 300cd/m2 brightness, and 10 ms response time -- resolution aside, those specs are all the same as the 30-incher. Also of note, the monitor includes a component input in addition to the standard DVI and VGA ports -- a nice bonus for anyone looking for a display that'll do double duty in a home theater/gaming setup. As you've no doubt guessed, this one's only available in Japan (at least for now), where it'll run you 89,800 Yen, or just over $770.

I wish I knew where I could order one from here in the United States, this would be a more cost effective match to my Cinema Display.

this looks like the Apple Cinema Display. just with the difference being bottom.

400:1 contrast is awfully low.

400:1? wtf? how about putting down an extra $30 and stepping up to the dell... 1000:1... or even the sony at 500:1 for $750.

psh.
