C|NET Looks at HP's Massive 23" Widescreen LCD
"The rise of Media Center PCs and the surging popularity of LCDs has created a new niche for monitors: the desktop Jumbotron. Exhibit A: the HP f2304--a 23-inch, HDTV-ready behemoth of an LCD. But with big size comes big price: HP plans to sell the f2304 for $2,099 (after a $100 rebate). If you're going to throw down that kind of money for a monitor, you'll expect it to do more than your average desktop LCD."
Wow. 8O Now that's a monitor! I'm a little dubious of the 16 ms response time though - based on what I know of current LCD technology, doing 16 ms with 2.3 megapixels worth of data isn't possible right now. It's a huge achievement to do it with 1.9 megapixels (1600 x 1200), but perhaps they're using a next-gen part that can do it at 1920 x 1200.

For once Apple is cheaper - their 23" LCD is only $1999!

Haha - that's funny! Apple must be enjoying that tremendously. ;-)

According to HP's site, apparently "highest resolution requires video card that will support 1920 x 1200". So according to them and general other reviews (found by Google searches), most current video cards should be able to handle this. Hmm.

'Most current video cards'? Hmmm, higher end ones perhaps. 1920 x 1200 is not a very common resolution. Will it become so?

Indeed, that's not a common resolution - 2D driver support will be easy to add, but games won't support 1920 x 1200...that's always the problem with widescreens.
