Thanks for the info guys.

I'm working on a crappy 17" monitor right now at 1280x1024 and it's killing me!

The Dell and that NEC look really nice, both of which would suit me fine.

One question about IPS panels though, is it worth it to get one if you're going to be using a VGA port?

My desktop at work is using onboard video, so there is no DVI port. I may just pick up a cheap video card off ebay that has a DVI port actually.

I'm going to wait this out I guess and look for a good deal online. I'll keep an eye on the dell deals page like H&L said. Plus, when I get the widescreen back, it's gonna blow my mind how huge it is and i will be happy for 2 days.
