My home office also needs a vastly larger LCD monitor. My largest is only 14" or so... life would be much easier if I could have multiple windows open side-by-side.
No, seriously. My next Mac really needs to be a Pro (it's what I've needed all along, but I simply couldn't afford it), and a 24" monitor for that puppy ain't gonna be cheap.
As I recall, the iMac screens are *not* IPS screens, but the 22 and 30" displays are (but not the 20"). I could be wrong. They may have changed it when they made the iMacs aluminium (current model).
Mine's a 24" model from two years ago. I remember there was some kind of stink at the time about claims of false advertising when Apple claimed "millions of colours" when one of the smaller models wasn't actually capable of it.

If you really need in IPS panel for good colour reproduction, and an LED backlight, that will be expensive.
