How To Buy A Monitor
While LCD monitors have become a common sight, they still come at a price, except when they're bundled with a desktop computer. Since you don't really replace or buy a computer monitor often, it's best to invest in an LCD monitor that offers the best combination of features, quality, and affordability.
These monitors are readily available on the Internet at discount prices at many recognized and unrecognized websites. However, it is highly recommended that you buy an LCD monitor from a retail store location rather than online. You don't just save money on shipping this way. LCD monitors are in general not very tough consumer electronics. An LCD monitor bought from a store is more likely to have been handled properly from the factory to the home.
One thing about electronics is that no matter what's written in the manuals, some electronics that are supposed to work together fine do not always do so. Even if an LCD monitor works with your computer, you might discover something that resuts in you wanting to return or exchange the monitor after a few days. Buying your computer monitor from a store that has a generous exchange and return policy can give you peace of mind. An "unconditional refund, no restocking fee" policy is ideal, but hard to find these days.
The best electronic stores normally have a website. Best Buy is an example of a store some consider a techie's paradise. They don't always have ...

Apple LED Cinema Display
CNET.com: While performance is excellent, the Apple LED Cinema Display's one connection option paints it into a small corner that is welcoming only to newer MacBook owners. http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/apple-led-cinema-display/4505-3174_7-33418352.html
AppleInsider: The picture is vivid, the sound is great for the class, and the design is both eye-catching and at times handy. We just hope that more Macs and Windows PCs can recognize Mini DisplayPort and that Apple doesn't end up sacrificing a large chunk of its display sales to high-end customers in the name of those few mainstream buyers who can spend the money Apple would like. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/12/07/apples_led_cinema_display_the_review.html&page=1
Engadget: The 24-inch LED Cinema Display is a well thought-out product. It's the first display that isn't ashamed to be built for notebook owners, and the simple inclusions that make it unique are incredibly handy and entirely useful. http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-review/

Computer Monitors
Computer monitors are viewing devices commonly used in conjunction with a computer to view images, documents and other computer-related figures. Some computer monitors are separate devices that plug into a stand-alone computer, while some monitors are built into portable computers, or laptops. Monitors are available in a range of dimensions, features and price points.
Monitors tend to use LCD, or liquid crystal display, technology or CRT, or cathode ray tube, technology. Portable computers almost universally use LCD flat screen displays and newer computers tend towards LCD screens as well.http://computer.howstuffworks.com/monitor1.htm
Computer monitors may offer a square visible screen, or a wide-screen, rectangular shape. The quality of the display is partially based on the screen resolution. The number of dots of color per square inch, or pixels, helps establish the size and types of images that can be viewable on the screen.http://computer.howstuffworks.com/monitor1.htm
Two primary data points are used to describe the computer monitor size. The aspect ratio indicates the relationship of the width to the height of the computer screen. The most historical aspect ratio is 4:3. Widescreen monitors may have ratios of 16:10, 16:9 or 15:9. These widescreen aspect ratios are similar to ones found on high definition televisions.http://computer.howstuffworks.com/monitor2.htm As with televisions, the screen size of a computer monitor is measured diagonally. On CRT screens, the computer case is measured, on LCD monitors, the casing is not measured.http ...

Wacom Cintiq
The 21-inch Cintiq 21UX tablet has a 1600x1200 display, can handle a full range of pen input from forms entry to animation, and works with Macs and PCs. - Marc Perton, Engadget http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/16/wacom-introduces-21-inch-cintiq-21ux-lcd-graphics-tablet/
The new Cintiq 21UX is shipping in March for just $2,500—really a pretty amazing price, considering what you're getting. - Joel, Gizmodo http://gizmodo.com/033025/wacom-cintiq-21ux-touch-screen-flat+panel
The Cintiq's brightness, contrast, and other controls reside in an awkward position on the top of the monitor, which makes it difficult to adjust while you're sitting down. - Diego Aguirre, PC World http://www.pcworld.com/article/122046/first_look_wacoms_21inch_touch_screen.html

Dual Monitor Laptop
"I just played around with the new Lenovo W700ds laptop, complete with two screens and built-in Wacom tablet, and it's a monster. It's not exactly portable, but it's as feature-filled as laptops get.
Of course there's the secondary screen, clocking in at 10.6 inches and popping out of the side of the 17-inch screen. But there's also the built-in Wacom digitizer. And the fingerprint scanner. It is, frankly, awesome. But the cost of said awesomeness is size: this thing is an absolute tank.
Weighing in at about 11 pounds, this is more desktop replacement than portable computer. Sure, you could carry it around with you, but expect back problems if you try to do it too often. Oh, and the battery life? Two hours. Er, yeah. But for people who are looking for a boatload of functionality (not to mention two screens) in a laptop, there are few peers to the W700ds out there." http://gizmodo.com/5126012/hands-on-lenovos-dual+screen-laptop-has-basically-every-feature-ever
" Lenovo has been forced to announce the ThinkPad W700ds ahead of the planned CES announcement after a page on the IBM website went live early - and if there's ever been a laptop worthy of being referred to as "the hamburger with the lot", it's this one. The 11 pound monster sports a 17-inch display and a secondary 10.5-inch display that folds out to the right - click through for the laundry list of other features.
Lenovo claims that that the primary display ...
