My local Best Buy has about 10 of these (actually, I think there are 171MP's) monitors set up at its help desk. I looked at them and the color seemed real nice, but there was a bit of ghosting, a little more than my TiBook's screen. In the then I ended up getting a 172t, because the lack of DVI on the 171MP turned me off. I mean, if the 171MP has RCA, S video, and can accept HDTV, why doesn't it have DVI capability? But this is a non-issue on your iBook. Besides small TV's are only 150-200 dollars for a nice one.
