It looks as though everybody is reducing prices like crazy, and/or flushing out the low-end model within each size bracket. My wife has been eying a Viewsonic 19" model, with speakers, for use when she brings her work laptop home. It's been $449 for some time, but today it was on one-day special at Fry's for $269 (after rebates). It's VGA-style analog only (no digital connector), and a somewhat slower response than the latest models, which is just fine for her use (spreadsheets and the like on a laptop), but definitely old-style when you look at the current crop of computer systems. [Yes - we did get one. It's amazing how much bigger a 19" screen looks vs. the 15" screen on her notebook. That should keep her quiet for a while, but she really wants one of the 23" cinema displays]
