I am about to buy a 1.83 macbook and i would like to have a external monitor and I have been surfing the net like crazy and can not find anything on a white computer monitor. I am really pissed off so if anybody knows of a white computer monitor that would be great thanks.

Samsung has a few white LCDs, but none of them are widescreen. Unless of course you count their 40" HDTV :p.

Benq makes LCD screens with white enclosures, but I'm not sure if there's a widescreen one. Formac Gallery screens may also still be available in white (not 100% sure about that).
 
I just posted about the Samsung LN-S1952W HDTV in another thread. It's a 19" 1440x900 display with HDMI and VGA in. If it's as good and works as well with Macs as the 40" LN-S4052 I have, I recommend it highly.

Should be available soon for ~$500.

You shouldn't use a TV as a computer monitor because they do not tilt and are often too bright for close viewing.

:confused: My 40" Samsung tilts and adjusts the screen to "PC mode" (lower brightness) when you look at the PC (VGA) input.

I agree with you in general, but the distingtion between LCD monitors and TVs is shrinking.

Someone did it at home, I e-mailed them and they said they were setting up the dell partnership and it should be available in 2006.
