    For what it's worth, the company I work for uses Dell, buys them by the dozen, shed loads at a time, and we are getting the same problem with LCD monitors. Shortage of glass is given as the reason for delays, which is holding up production for us, although I don't suppose that it is quite so simplistic. I presume that the glass referred to is special in some way, but it's not just private individuals affected, but large users as well. Don't know about other manufacturers, like HP for example.
