Hey Brian,

None of that will catch on big until the price comes down. My last TV cost $600 and the screen is plenty big enough. This consumer isn't paying any more than that for a TV.

In the same rant, I've worked off a Dell laptop with the biggest lcd screen available for the last 3 months due to business keeping me away from the office. Six months with NO desktop, old style monitor. Then yesterday I went back and did something on the desktop all day. Dang did I miss the flat lcd screen of the laptop. As soon as a desktop flat LCD gets to a fair price I know something big and clunky that is headed for the local school donations. Not to mention man did it hurt my eyes with the glare.

Best thing these computer box makers could do is get the price of the flat panel monitors down and packaged into their new computer deals.
