Westinghouse LVM-37W1 37" HD Ready Flat Panel LCD Monitor
Excellent monitor for any use
Amazing price for such a versitile monitor. You should be able to get it for $1850 at best buy. I recommend the $400 4 year service plan as I believe this monitor may have very few, if any, reparable components and would be replaced if any major failure occured. The extraordinary variety of inputs makes this ideal for any application, including 1080p which may appear in 3rd generation game consoles or HD-DVD or computer displays.  The native 1080i resolution matches Hi-Def cable, which other displays convert to 720p because they don\\"t have the sheer number of pixels this unit is capable of.  A recent article in Home Theatre magazine stated that one could not tell the difference between a 720p and 1080i display unless your screen was very large.  I differ with that opinion, this picture at home (not in a store with a degraded source for display) will blow you away, and any sensible enthusiast should wonder - why pay twice as much for half the resolution and the need to downconvert material from 1080 to 720? Other comments: The ability to adjust the backlight brightness is a big advantage for viewing in a variety of room lighting conditions. Like all lcd displays, this has absolutely no problem with reflections or glare from room lights or windows, this is a BIG difference from CRT or plasma displays and is a very important thing to consider when choosing a display. This display is no better than most LCD'S for off center viewing. Brightness, contrast and detail fall off considerably as the viewer sits further from the center of the screen. I only mention this because this is very difficult to evaluate in a showroom and the uninformed may be unpleasantly surprised when they get their new tv home and find that the best viewing is only within perhaps 60 degrees of center. I find that the speakers positioned below the screen an advantage in reducing width in a crowded installation, perhaps to be removed later. In conclusion, for my modest sized home theatre, this 37\\" display is perfect and seems to be the most advanced display available today at a very low price.
