    Is it ever coming out? Engadget reported it was going to be up for sale in Janurary :(.

    link

    Is the LED really worth $400 (as opposed to a 2-300$ LCD of the same size)?

    While I'm here I might as well ask for external keyboard recommendations :p.

    Thanks!

    LED backlight uses less power than the normal monitors.

    Try the Saitek eclipse I for a good keyboard. Cheap but very good

    While theoretically that should be true, the Apple Cinema LED 24" display uses more power than many other 24" displays.

    the monitor looks okay, samung is quoting dynamic contrast as usual. would be killer value if they made it 2048*1152.
