* Updated List of Widescreen TFT Monitors Due 2005/06 *
UPDATE 07/02/06:
I haven’t updated this thread since December so here is the updated listing with 8 new monitors and some other minor changes/corrections (including the type of panel used in each - thank you Badass
). The 8 monitors are as follows:

Acer 20” AL2051W
Asus 19” PW191
Fujitsu-Siemens 20" S20-1W
NEC 20” 20WGX2
Philips 20” 200W6CS
Xerox 20” XM9-20W
Xerox 23” XM9-23W

A few weeks ago DigiTimes published a list of upcoming widescreen TFT monitors due over the next few months (some of which have already been released). Unfortunately this article is no longer available to the non-paying public and so I have decided to compile my own list of specifications and reproduce it here in more detail with a few corrections and some additions. I hope that this will help some of you, especially those of you, who like me, have been waiting a long time for vendors and panel manufacturers to take the widescreen market seriously. Please note that this is NOT intended as a guide to widescreen TFT’s (we have Badass for that).
NOTE: RRP is based on the currency conversion between the Taiwanese Dollar (NT$) and Pound Sterling (£) at a rate of 1 NT$ = £0.0170570744. For this reason I have included what I believe to be the expected UK pricing (inc VAT) for those monitors which have not yet been released. In such cases the price is preceded by a ~ (tilde) and followed by the keyword “EST” to denote an estimated value. These prices are only intended as a guide and should not be taken at face value.
