I am looking for a flat panel monitor for my G4 Sawtooth. I have a Radeon 8500 capable of 2048 x 1536 resolution, so I should be just dandy with a 20" widescreen 1280 x 1050.
So, I would love to get the new Apple 20" Cinema display, but I can't bring myself to spend $1300 on it when I could get almost the same thing from Dell (the Dell 2005FPW) for $800. I lose the 2 FireWire 400 ports in favor of 2 extra USB ports (there are 4 USB ports on the Dell).
I can't justify spending $500 extra based on looks and a couple of FireWire ports. Is there anything else I'm missing?
On a sidenote, there's a naive dude on eBay selling an Apple 20" because he needs a "PC display".
