I was doing some followup, and although the original article @ Extremetech reported that FFD LCD screens would be going into production in this quarter, it looks like it’ll be 2003 before they come out.
I really like the LCD screen on my work machine, and seeing as I spend almost as much time staring at the screens at home, it’d probably be worthwhile. I’m looking at a Viewsonic, Planar, or Samsung screen. Interesting to note, if you specify your country on the Samsung site, you’re taken into a Broadvision session which makes it impossible to bookmark the pages you’re looking at. How 1999.
