The first two are above $2K though, and I have no idea about the third.

I paid less than $1500 about 3 years ago for my wife's Dell with a 17 inch 1920x1200 display. Now, the best laptop with 17 inch screen I can get for $1700 from Dell is 1600x900! That's not progress. Thanks for the suggestions on some other units though. They are just too expensive.

You can still buy 27" monitors with good resolution. Check the Dell U2711, or the Apple LED monitor.

I looked at the Dell U2711 on their website. It looks like a good unit but it's $999! I paid $269 each for our 24" 1920x1200 Samsung monitors. They are fully adjustable, beautiful bright images and I bought FOUR of them at Costco 2 years ago for the same price as one monitor now with comparable resolution.

My wife and I have 1920x1200 screens on our desktops and laptops. The laptops are getting old and have become almost impossible to replace unless we want to step into the "mobile CAD workstation" market of laptop at 3 times the cost we paid for her Dell. Even desktop screens have all moved down from 1200 vertical lines to 1080 "HD". I had hoped my 24 to 27 inch screens would have bumped up to 2560x1600 by now but it's going the opposite direction.

The White House can increase the threshold to receive a response at any time. The threshold on the 'Take these petitions seriously" petition is 25,000 signatures in the next 2 weeks. Other petitions which have NOT been taken seriously had much lower thresholds of 5,000 signatures. So.. a petition to not ignore the 5,000 signatures requires 25,000 signatures. Nice.

In a gathering of two or more people, when a lighted cigarette is placed in an ashtray, the smoke will waft into the face of the non-smoker.
