Wide screen LCD panel sources

Everyone, I have noticed that Sony is now making a wide screen LCD computer monitor they call it a 17.1" and has 1280x768 resolution. Does anyone know if Sony makes the LCD panel or of other OEM manufacturers who make wide screen or 16:9 LCD panels. Any sizes would be welcome.

This thread could become a resource for those looking for wide screen LCD panels.
 
There are a bunch, but they are all pretty big. Apple (don't know the OEM) makes a VERY nice one. I played around with it at Fry's. Silicon Graphics has had a large widescreen monitor for a while now (can be seen in some movies). There is an OEM Sharp out there that is the 2100 x whatever (it's 16x9). That' probably what's in the Apple and SG monitors. Sony has several, didn't know they had one as small as 17" though.
 
Thanks for the information

Lifter,

Thanks for your response. I have pretty much given up on the idea that I will find a smaller size high rez panel. So I am interested in the bigger sizes. I just saw the Sony unit at Circuit City so I think it is a new design. I am going to check out Sharps 16:9 right now.

Hezz
