StockHawk: Many thanx for your sharing of notes on Flat Panel Displays...this unselfish gesture is what makes this thread and SI so important. Kudos to you for taking valuable time to contribute. I own a flat panel display and love it. Crisp picture, and as important, allows me to recapture some desktop space for papers, etc. The flat panel market appears to me to be a recap of the boxmaker game; little sizable barrier to entry with everybody piling in. Is this a Royalty game? Is there a Dell in the group? Apollo

Wow, what an amazing post. I have an IBM flat panel--I bought it for $1400, it had come down from $4000, about 10 months ago. It's equivalent to a 17 inch regular monitor. I would never go back to a regular monitor simply because there is no eyestrain with a high-end LCD display (there are some crappy ones still on the market, Viewsonic, for instance--which don't have high enough pixel resolution). It doesn't flicker at all, of course. And tho some scoff at this, I believe it's healthier if you spend many hours in front of the computer, as there is no cathode-ray radiation. Moreover, it is elegant and a spacesaver. As you probably know, Gateway, NEC, and now DELL are designing flat panel display computers with the ports in the display panel (thus no tower) and wireless keyboards. It definitely is the wave of the future, as Stan says, and I appreciate some investment guidelines in this arena. Thanx again. Jill
