It's been $350US for a long time. I'm waiting for the first price I see
under $299. I've seen them in stores, and haven't personally noticed
anything bad about the display, but perhaps I wasn't looking hard
enough. I'll look again before buying. I don't know if I'd ever use
the rotation feature, but I think it's cool. I dunno what my graphics
adapter thinks about it, though.
