I strongly recommend the Dell LCDs. I have a 2001FPW (20" widescreen--which uses the same LCD panel as Apple's]

It was half the price of Apple and worth every penny.

Sure-- the Apple Cinema Display is nice with that sleek aluminium enclosure(and if you need to match your PowerMac/MacPro G5) but the Dell has added features that you don't get with the Apple display.

You can adjust both height and tilt on the Dells. You have dual/selectable inputs: DVI and Analog. You can also connect a DVD player VCR to it and play it in a small window. The Dell has a built in USB hub also.

The Dell is kind of "ugly" in terms of that black housing---but you can't argue with the value.
