Hi,
Anyone have experience with this LCD display or even a similar Sony model with their mini?
I'm looking into purchasing it for my mini.
It would replace the Apple Multiscan that I'm using now.
Here's Mac Mall's product page for the monitor:

thanks,

Thanks for your comments!
I'm going out today so I'll see what I can find at my local retailers (Best Buy & CircuitCity).
Update : That model I mentioned above must be old, because I couldn't find it anywhere.
I saw a Sony 17 inch HDTV widescreen today and just might wait 'til I can purchase that one.
Here is Sony's page for it (MFM-HT75W) :

I purchased the Sony MFM-HT75W on CircuitCity's web site and
picked it up at my local store (saved an instant $60.00 - total w/ PA tax was: $572.39)
Excellent picture, sufficiant sound on the built-in speakers ..
What sealed the deal for me was Widescreen and HDTV.
Having NTSC TV Tuner, PIP, Two video inputs and support for two PCs
is icing on the cake!
Native resolution is: 1280 x 768
Supports 1080i and 720p HD formats.
I highly recommend this display (for your Mac mini) if you're in the market for an LCD display. _________________ 1.42GHz Mac mini / 1GB DDR / 80GB HD / Panasonic UJ-845-B 8X DL DVD±RW / 10.4 "Tiger"
