Others are recommending the NEC too, so I will take a serious look at the 24" and 27" models. I did go to the local Apple store to ask about PC compatibility, and was told it might work, with 3rd party cables/adapters but that compatibility was not guaranteed. I don't believe the salesman knew much about this topic.
