Well, I just can't seem to let this kind of question fester for any period of time longer than 2-3 hours, so I answered my own question. I found pricing on that NEC from these guys that wasn't a heck of a lot more than what I'd spend on a flat panel display. I just got off the phone with them and I have one on order. It's supposed to arrive from NEC next Tuesday so I should see it Thursday. I'll stall on returning the Thinkpad until then.
