I am waiting to buy a PowerMac when they go Intel, but until then I'll get by with my PC. I want to get a 20" Cinema display to keep me going. I'd like to buy it now, but I dont know how likely they are to improve the LCD panel in the near future (MWNY), or other things... Should I hold out till the end of summer?

There is no MacWorld NY anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple released new displays along with new Intel desktops, but unless you're waiting for them to add some feature (like HDCP), might as well get one now if that's what you want.

The new ones MIGHT have iSights built in a drop in price.

How likely is HDCP to appear on Apple's displays? Does anyone know?
