Mohan,

Actually Dell has offered a 15" LCD as an option on it's systems for some time now. A month or two back they added a 17" LCD, it basically DOUBLES the price of the average system. I'm pretty sure these are not IBM boxes, they might be Philips. In either case, you will probably see IBM devices being offered in the future. NEC, IBM, CPQ,
Nanao and Viewsonic offer 18" LCD's, but count on paying over 3k for one!!! The 15" device you priced can be bought standalone depending on manufacturer in a range of $900 - $1200...

John

Mohan, if you get a flat panel display make sure the pixels are at least 1280 by 1024--even better if it can be 1600 x 1200. Buying sight unseen isn't the greatest idea. My monitor is perfect at 1280 by 1024 and tho it supposedly supports higher, it gets very weird looking at higher resolutions. But this monitor I have is technology a year old...
