I am getting an Intel 20" shortly, and was wondering if anybody here has one and has connected an additional display to it. If so, could you post pictures of this setup?
I am also wondering if there is a 20" display out there that is white, to match the iMac. The Apple displays are gorgeous, but I want something that really matches.
Thanks!

It works well (sorry for the glare).
The second display is 1680*1050, same as the iMac.

The old Apple displays or the Formac displays might be the closest match. Silver goes pretty well with them too, though, so the current Apple displays are also a possibility.

I used my old 19" crt and set it up alongside the 20" imac - worked perfectly right out of the box, no issues. The imac makes my old monitor look like a real piece though.

Yes, and I've since switched the two displays.

Remember you will have to pick up an adapter to connect the DIVI plug on the monitor, to the (Apple Only? Standard? I have never seen one before) mini socket on the back of the iMac.

Mini DVI is a standard (from the same group that created the DVI standard, AFAIK), but Apple seems to be the only one who uses it.

Do any local stores other than the Apple Store carry the Mini DVI to VGA adapter? My local Apple store is sold out, and I couldn't find it on CompUSA's website.
