Apple 17" display
Apple is preparing to launch a new 17-inch standalone LCD display -- the first since the company discontinued its 17-inch Studio Display in 2004 -- according to one report. Apple will launch its new 17-inch widescreen LCD monitors by the first quarter of 2007, according to DigiTimes, which will replace entry-level and mid-range 15- and 17-inch LCDs moving forward. Additionally, more efficient panel cutting by LCD makers will reduce the cost of new units, ensuring the new screens will not ship fetch a premium price upon their forthcoming debut.

Hope this is true
I know a few people who would have purchased an Apple brand 17" widescreen if they had them. The problem that I see is the cost of a decent 19" widescreen can be found for under $200. I doubt Apple will offer a 17" for cheaper than that. They price their displays at one heck of a premium with little bang for your buck.
