    With “Thanks” to all who have helped me here in the past, I hope this humble contribution may help others:

    The Dell Displays are every bit as good as the apple without the apple premium cost.

    The westinghouse is a great screen though.

    Long post award!

    What refresh rate is the LCD at? sounds like a totally decent idea to me.

    Long post award, LOL!

    Stu,

    If you read the reviews of this 37″ you may be kicking yourself when you see it’s price, but it’s all only gonna keep getting cheaper. Cool idea!

    The black friday price on that westinghouse at (gasp) ShopKo was $799. I couldn’t talk my wife into it however as I don’t really have an extra cash being the holiday season.

    The viewsonic is only 1366×768.
    The Westinghouse is full 1920×1080.
