if i were you i would get the 23 inch sony monitor looking for cost and parts factors the 23 in sony monitor uses the same 23 inch high def panasonic screen the only major diff though after that is that it has a control panel on the front to control the contrast and brightness and other options plus it has ports in the back for a hdtv receiver to make it a full fledge HDTV it also allows you hook up componat video in certain modles of it to and also i belive has a build in USB port for the mear 300 dollars more you really do get a major step up in features .... im saving up to get on my self because i run a multi system network (2x X86 with linux, windows, BSD. Mac OSX powerbook and soon to be G5 [just a little more money] and then a salavaged Sun Ultra sparc 60 and SGI indigo)
