At my office I've been connecting a Sony 20" 1600x1200 LCD monitor to my Powerbook. However, this only lets me put two 80-column Terminal windows side-by-side. There's more horizontal space, but not enough for a third 80-column terminal. (Not at my preferred font size, anyway). So I ordered a Dell 2405FPW, which is 24" and 1920x1200.

Nice powerbook - I have the same model and LOVE LOVE it.

However, you royally SUCK for having a 24" LCD hooked up to yours.

I have LCD envy. :-(

I have a dual display system at work with one horiz, and one vert. Most excellent. They are Dells and quite easy to swivel. At home I have dual 23" cinemas. Both are horizontal because the stand wont swivel. I manage to get by though:) -trenton

I just ordered mine, have a 15" powerbook with the 128MB graphics card. Which connector should I get?

As far as I know, you don't need to get any connector. The PowerBook has a DVI port built-in, and the Dell LCDs all have DVI ports built-in and come with DVI cables.
