Tony - Flat-out biased personal pick >>> SGI 1600sw Runs 1600x1024, comes with a 32bit vid card, insanely sharp, so bright I need to turn it down ! They're OEM'd from Mitsubishi, marked SGI. Comes in AGP, PCI, or MAC flavors. They're 17.3 diagonal, slightly wide-screen, two full pages no problem - well worth the $2400. Most of the processing is done on the vid card, no speed hits with two units off one box. anandtech.com

Yahoo! News Technology Headlines Sunday March 7 3:24 PM ET Yahoo! targeted over board postings By Maria Seminerio, ZDNet Defense giant Raytheon Corp. has filed suit against 21 anonymous online chatters it believes are employees who divulged trade secrets on Yahoo! Inc. discussion boards. The Lexington, Mass.-based company is also seeking an injunction forcing Yahoo (Nasdaq:YHOO), in Santa Clara, Calif., to identify the individuals in order to determine whether they are in fact Raytheon employees, Raytheon spokeswoman Toni Simonetti said. The case could further test the extent to which Internet sites are held liable for the material they publish. The lawsuit was filed not to prevent workers from discussing company matters, but to protect sensitive trade secrets, she said. "We encourage the free exchange of information among our employees, but the issue here is the disclosure of proprietary financial and business strategy information," Simonetti said. Raytheon has a responsibility to shareholders to protect such data, she said. Idea exchange encouraged A Yahoo! spokeswoman said the company will identify the chatters if ordered to do so by the court, and added that past court rulings have concluded Yahoo! cannot be held legally responsible for content posted on its message boards by chatters. A disclaimer on the site tells users that Yahoo! can't guarantee information posted on its message boards is true, and bars users from posting harassing, defamatory or libelous information, or data that otherwise violates the law. The lawsuit, filed Feb. 1 in Middlesex Superior Court in Cambridge, Mass., alleges that the 21 people, who went by online aliases such as "RSCDeepthroat," (presumably a reference to Raytheon subsidiary Raytheon Systems Co.) broke the law by divulging company secrets in 29 separate Yahoo discussion board postings. The messages, several of which Raytheon claims were erroneous, dealt with the company's financial health, pending business deals, and confidential employee data, according to the suit. Trade secrets clause The suit claims the workers violated employee agreements not to disclose confidential data, charging them with "misappropriation of trade secrets." The messages were posted between March 1998 and January of this year. Raytheon is also seeking an injunction against the unnamed chatters barring them from further disclosure of company information, along with compensatory damages, attorney's fees and other expenses. dailynews.yahoo.com

Anthony, one of my favorite stocks ("long", that dirty word) is Genesis Microchip (GNSS). They make the chips for flat-panel and HDTV. They have been getting the awards for highest quality. Their chips are in the DELL flat panels. I'm not sure where else. The SGI flat-panels look pretty good, but I don't know how they compare for quality and don't know if GNSS chips are inside. See genesis-microchip.com or genesis-microchip.com specifically.

Anthony, I just did a search for some high quality flat screen monitors and wound up buying 2 ViewSonic P815's (high end typical big things). The best info I could come up with said wait another year for some real high quality stuff. If you have your heart set on it, stay digital vice analog and have the salespeople be specific about the type of drivers you will need. Of course, if you dont need it for anything but text and graphs analog might be sufficient and you can plug them right into your computer. One drawback is I couldn't determine if you can have a multi monitor display using the flat screens.
