Thanks. That's a great data point.

I actually find big price discrepancies now that I look at Froogle.
I'm guessing that the discrepancies come from with/without a
calibration system, but I've got a GM calibration tool anyway.

So skipping the weirder dealers, a 21.1" CE210W is available for
$1,145 from Buy.com.

Do you have any idea what the useful life of a monitor like this is?
I've read that LCD's do age, but that's the limit of my knowledge.
