Thread Name: BS/Tech: I want a BIG Monitor
Subject: RE: BS/Tech: I want a BIG Monitor
As John points out, if this is to simply justify the 42" monitor, then I can't help. They're not durable enough and don't have a long track record, not for me, anyway, to spend the kind of money you're looking at.

When I spoke to someone about the projector (my version of your dream monitor. . .) I was told that it doesn't work well for gaming (PS2, Game Cube, X-Box). That was never my plan, and I told the person so. He said that games would be hard on it. So my suggestion to Joe is to find out if the use as a monitor (lots of repetitive or possible burn-in of regular images) is going to shorten the life of this very expensive device? A life that wasn't all that long to begin with.
