IBM T221 - God's LCD
(5 out of 5) by Noel Bourke on Jun 12, 2007 (Ireland)Ace of Spades has it all wrong.
This monitor is entirely unique.
Its resolution is double that of almost any LCD on the market.
4 1080 HD video streams tiled on screen with plenty of room to spare!
No other monitor on the market will fit even 2.
Its pixel density is higher than a 600dpi photo printer.
I just picked up one on ebay for a song but normally the resale value is circa 7000 - 8000 dollars.
These monitors are mainly used in defence (Satellite recon) and medical imaging sectors and are very sought after now that they are no longer made and no similar product exists.

The T-220 - Remarkable for specific uses
(5 out of 5) by Donald Otis on Jul 7, 2005I actually got to demonstrate the T-220 in a printing application at Xplor. The monitor is beyond a doubt the clearest I have ever seen. You can see the specifications at: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4XWF7Y Notice that it has been replaced by the T-221, http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-54982 .
The price has dropped from that original price, but is still hefty. You need this kind of monitor if you are involved in remote medical services (X-Ray reading, etc), preprint set up, or detailed CAD/CAM. If you are looking for a home device to surf E-Bay, this is not the device for you.

To clarify the one bad review
(3 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jan 11, 2004I saw the original research model of this monitor a few years ago, let me tell you, nothing else compares. Not even today. Hopefully the price on this technology comes down in the next few years (the original price was $22k). 200 pixels per inch is pretty amazing. If you don't need it, chances are it is too much money. :)

Too Pricey
(1 out of 5) by Ace Of Spades on Dec 17, 2003 (USA)I highly recommend that you do not buy this monitor. First of all it is too pricey for what you are getting. It has no specs that you can look at to even give you a clue whether you are buying a good product or not. There are too many great products out there to waste so much money on this monitor. I would recommend getting a Sony 23 in LCD Flat Panel monitor for $5000 less than this one. Not worth it at all for the price you are paying.
