    Sony 23" Widescreen

    This is a very nice looking monitor. Too bad it is so expensive. It also has 16ms response time. Anybody have an opinion on it?

        Being honest, in about 18 months when I start telecomuting from home, I'm seriously considering two.

        Well the Mac versions, attached to a dual G5...

            I don't like the stand.

            The mac models have better design.

              My 23" HP WUXGA 16ms LCD still looks like a bargain at $1700.

                I never realized that the LCD you were looking at was a widescreen. I couldn't find it on HP's site, but they appear to have a new one?

                      What is it with LCD manufacturers sticking speakers on them. Anyone spending that much money on an LCD monitor or LCD TV isn't going to be using the speakers anyway - they would almost certainly have a decent audio setup as well.

                      Sony seems to have realised this. The HP model, however is wasting a lot of space on the speakers.

                        I say the same about high end TV sets as well !!!
                        Why bother ? Even worse, why make me pay for lousy speakers I'll never use ?

                          I disagree. On an executive's desk, these would work, where separate speakers wouldn't.

                              So? It's not about space, it's about the way having speakers (and their wires) sitting on your desk looks. Especially since people often see the desks from the back.
