Flat screen recommendation (PC) for high res graph? (take II)

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

David Neeley offered a correct to my statement that Dell (and others)  
might purchase LCD panels from the manufacturer and assemble them:  
<<although one buried within them perhaps I can correct?>>

By the evidence, there's no "perhaps" about it. <g>

<<if I understand you correctly you think that Dell assembles the  
displays from screens and other components manufactured by others?  
That, too, is untrue. They buy them for resale already manufactured  
in their entirety and even boxed in Dell boxes per their  
specifications. That way, it remains a "pick a box off the shelf and  
send it.">>

Quite likely... I definitely overspoke or mispoke. The broader point  
is still correct: many (most?) computer companies don't manufacture  
their own components anymore, and instead buy them from other  
manufacturers. The specific point (that Dell assembles its own LCDs  
from component parts) is probably not correct. Different branded  
companies (e.g., Dell) do differing amounts of product assembly  
themselves; for example, David is probably correct that Dell buys the  
monitors pre-assembled, but I'd bet that Dell does do some limited  
assembly (or subcontracts it) for their built-to-order PCs, for which  
you get to spec the hard drive, video card, etc.
