Portable LCDs

[motoxpress]

So, I have seen the Shuttle 17" and it does look good but, I am not prepared to frop $650 on a 17" monitor. What other options are there for a decent lcd that is easily portable? Also, the anandtech reviewers seem to feel that 8 bit panels produce better colors. How do you know which montiors have 8 bit panels?

Thanks
