Samsung’s HL-S4676S SlimDLP, like the name suggests, has a slimmer profile than regular DLP units. According to an article in Engadget, the HL-S4676S 46″ DLP is 11.5″ thick. They compare it to a 56″ unit, which isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison: 14.5″ vs. 11.5″. So, I searched for another 46″ DLP unit and came up with [...]
The 25.5″ size is an odd-ball size, but it is more accurate than the 26″ size that is floating around. The 26″ that you see out there is actually a 25.5″. NEC Display’s LCD2690WUXi, contrary to its naming scheme, is a 25.5″ wide LCD monitor and will be introduced into the wild in January 2007 [...]

With a $300 price [...]

Remember one of the first 22″ LCD monitors? I believe it was Apple that came out with [...]
Samsung’s SM225BW is a 22″ wide LCD monitor that looks somewhat stoic. Many other companies have 22″ offerings and, in my opinion, look much better. The SM225BW’s specifications don’t look bad at all:

Brightness: 280 cd/m2
Response time: 5ms GTG
Contrast ratio: 700:1
Viewing angle: 160/160
Resolution: 1680 x 1050

Display size: 20.1″
Resolution: 1680 x 1080
Brightness is 350 cd/m2
Contrast ratio: 800:1
Viewing [...]
