Unknown about any custom monitor configurations, hardware pan & zoom (4x) and
extended desktops are an option.

MegaGraphics

MegaScreen SE/30-8 will only support their 19" Trinitron at 1024 x 826 at 75 
dpi.

All three video cards have been priced at $1895.

I should also note:

E-Machines

Big Picture Z21 SE/30 is a 21" monochrome video system that costs $2495.  This
price includes the video card and monitor.  Feature are supposed to include 
hardware panning and software selectable resolutions.  Set to ship in April.

Hope this information helps!
