Planar has announced the addition of three widescreen LCD desktop monitors to its PX product line. The new models are branded as the PX2611W, PX2411W and PX2210MW, and come in 26-, 24- and 22-inch screen sizes, respectively. According to the company, "the new displays were developed to sustain high-end graphics and other demanding applications required by specific specialty markets, such as graphic design, video editing and computer-assisted design manufacturing, finance, advertising and marketing professionals. Widescreen displays, such as the PX line, are capable of displaying multiple application windows, Web pages, or documents simultaneously, which limits the time spent switching between windows and programs."

These look nice, but I'm still waiting on the 27" Dell. Let's get that thing under $1000 Mr. Dell!

It looks like the 22" model has an 8-bit panel. Most of the 22" Dell and ViewSonic LCDs only have 6-bit panels. But it's a shame that it doesn't offer height and swivel adjustments.

I bought the 22" from Newegg to use with my Core Duo Mac mini. It's a beautiful display for under $300 bills. The screen is bright with no bleeding. The built-in speakers are kind of crappy, but I wasn't expecting much from them. The display also sits kind of low, and there is no height adjustment. I really can't think of anything else bad to say about. It's just a nice simple display. I also like that flat black coloring, but could've done without the white Planar logo on the top. I'll try to send in a picture for the photo gallery here once I clean up my desk. It's pretty messy right now!
