20-21'' LCD

I've builted my rig the way I wanted and now I need a really nice 20-21 LCD (not widescreen I've seen the 2005FP) to go dual monitor.
I've some weeks to visit the forums so are there any news on a new product or any rumours for a forthcoming one?
I don't know if I should proceed with a 2001FP purchase right now, since there's a lot of time that this product has hit the market and I really don't want to pay a significant amount of money today and see a better product be released in the near future.
So any news?
 
I got the 2001FP a couple of months ago for $675 (a hot deal then) and I'm very happy with my purchase.
Will there be something better available soon? Will this or a similar product be available cheaper? Almost certainly yes to both, but you could say that at almost any time for almost any tech product. If you're buying now, this is a really good price on a nice monitor - go ahead and get a couple!
 
I have been very happy with my Samsung 213T. Have owned it for over a year now. I have heard Hit or Miss stories with the Dell 2001FP so your mileage may vary.

Also, does your video card have 2 DVI outputs? I am currently running 213T and 712N on DVI and VGA respectively, and its been a long long road trying to get the colors to match. Now, this could be solely because they are different panels, however, this also could be due to running one monitor as Digital and the other as analog. Just something to consider when going Multi-monitors.

Two of em, you lucky rich bastage!

No no no... Wish I was that lucky. I'll go dual monitor with a CRT I have, not 2 2001FPs.

Yeah I do realize that, that's why I said in the near future. I've seen a 2001FP in action and I like it a lot, but I prefer spending something more on a newer one if it's to be released by the first quarter of 2005.
So any recommendations?
