I agree. i have two samsung 192N 19" LCDS, which in my opinion were the best looking PC lcds around (they're the same as the Dell UltraSharp 1900FP)
But by comparison, the apple displays really are more crisp. The viewing angle is supposedly better on the apple's too, but the samsungs are great anyway.
If you shop around, you can get a good deal.
3 x Samsung 192N @ $650 = $1950 (still as much as the 23" apple, and a ton more screen area)
