Having read very positive reviews about Dell screens lately I
figured I'd check their current pricing today. One good review is
at http://www.barefeats.com/lcd.html (written by a Mac guy,
comparing it to the Apple 23").
Turns out that this week Dell are selling 20" LCDs for $899 and 24"
LCDs for $1399 ("only" $700 cheaper than Apple's 23").
The web site is a bit misleading - under the 24" it says "from
$899", but that actually applies to the 20". The sales guy on the
phone ended up giving me a price for a 24" of $1359.
The Dell screens also have a three year warranty (compared to
Apple's one year).

I have one of the 24" ones and they are fantastic. I use it with my
17" powerbook.
Very easy to set up. Just plug in and go. Had it for about 5 months &
no problems. Paid ~ 1375. Can almost have 2 A4 pages side by side at
100% in Quark.
Rumour has it they are bringing out a 30" next, probably with the
same screen as the Apple (which is the case for the 24").
