Definitely helpful answers... I think I'm leaning towards the Apple Cinema (but LaCie is still in contention).

My biggest concerns w/the Apple display are how it's going to work w/my Dell PC and that it's refresh rate won't be too troubling when watching movies or playing the occasional FPS.

Any more advice?

thanks again

Ok, after much sweat, tears, and eye strain I have my choices down

to 4 monitors... The finalists are!

1+Samsung 213T

2+Lacie Photon20Vision II (the hood and mounting clamp would be

awesome for using it on location in studio)

3+Apple Cinema 20" Flat-Panel Display

4+Dell 2005FPW

My budget is under $1000, and this monitor will be used w/my DELL PC

desktop as well as an external monitor with my 12" Powerbook. Image

quality is tantamount, and I need something that will look awesome

w/my Desktop computer (up to 1600x1200) AND still look great when

coupled to the lower resolution (1024x768) of my Apple 12" Powerbook.

I'm really having a difficult time deciding, I definitely want

something to accurately view photographs, but I'd also like a decent

refresh rate to play the occasional FPS game ;) This will be my main

monitor at home.

Thanks SO much for any help and advice :)
