Unless you want to use 1024 x 768 mode, you can't use any of the current
crop of 15" active LCD displays since none of them to my knowledge
support 1152 x 900 or higher. All of the 18.1" displays (including the one
Sun is now marketting) will do 1280 x 1024, but I don't know if the
scanning ranges are high enough for the standard frequencies that Sun uses
in 1280 x 1024 mode. Check Sun's site and look at the specs for the 18.1"
active LCD panel they are selling and compare to the others.

Here in Australia, the 15" active LCD displays sell for around A$2000,
which the 18.1" models are all between A$6000 and A$7000!

Regards,

Craig.
