Partly due to the trials and excitement of the holiday season and party because I am a cheap man, I did not pull the trigger on purchasing a new monitor / TV. Part of the reason is that technology always gets cheaper, as demonstrated by even Apple cutting their prices on Cinema Displays, though $1800 for the 23 inch one I crave still seems a little much.
Since it got posted to /. after I saw this article yesterday, I'll mention that I, of course, am excited about the possibility of purchasing an OLED TV. My questions about this model being "what exactly is the price?" and "Can I use it as a monitor (aka DVI)?". Since Samsung claims this TV can be produced using their current plant and LCD process, hopefully it will not be much more than the $1000 range their 22 in. LCD HDTV can be purchased for. Also, since this is primarily being sold as a TV apparently, it might be the first one I've heard of that has a native resolution of 1900 by 1200, especially in this size. Sure sounds like it would be a great computer monitor to me, though a couple of inches less than my ideal.
