I've been planning on getting a display for about... oh, 3 months now... now i definitely gotta get one.

I'd love to see the displays drop in price. With the added education discount, I might just be able to convince myself to get one. Also, it makes a 23" iMac G5 a bit more reasonable.

The difference between the 20" and the 23" are too great. It's a whole lot cheaper to buy 2 20" LCDs for just a little more.
2x20" LCD = $2000 = 3.53 million pixels.
1x23" LCD = $1800 = 2.30 million pixels.
1x30" LCD = $3000 = 4.01 million pixels.
2x20" LCD = $2000 = 3.53 million pixels.
1x23" LCD = $1800 = 2.30 million pixels.
1x30" LCD = $3000 = 4.01 million pixels.

If they're going to drop a $500 Mac on us, they need a cheap display to accompany it, something like the screen from the 15 or 17 inch Powerbook, at a reasonable price point.

from what i understood, the 23" is HD, the 20" isnt.
