I purchased a Mitsubishi AUM-1381 Diamondscan monitor for $500 from
a company called PC Brand, including tilt/swivel.  It works on Mac, IBM,
and even (get this!) Composite TV signals!  I love it because I just
happen to have a Mac, IBM, and VCR in a small dorm room that can only
support the size of one monitor.  It's quite readable (I am online at
least 1hr/day without any eyestrain), but noticeably worse than the
Apple monitors.

I shopped around before I bought my diamondscan, and found that Apple
had the best sharpness.  Noone else was even close.  The diamondscan
is dirt cheap, and it runs everything!  I'd buy it again.

You'll have to look up PC Brand in a PC Magazine or something to find
their number.  The cable for Mac costs $30.
