The Bottom Line	The Apple 23-inch Cinema Display is low on extras and high on price. Still, one look at this gorgeous LCD, and you'll kiss your practicality good-bye.	While performance is excellent, the Apple LED Cinema Display's one connection option paints it into a small corner that is welcoming only to newer MacBook owners.	The Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 looks great, performs well, and hits the right price point.	The 24-inch Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP display delivers across the board in performance, design, and features. It excelled with movies and games, making it not only an excellent choice as an entertainment display, but also great for everyday Windows tasks.	With its low price, great performance, and many features, the Dell SP2309W is a sound buy for a 23-inch monitor.
