I bought a new LCD TV/Monitor yesterday and thought about the recent 'what 
computer to buy' thread.

It is a Westinghouse LVM-37w1.  I realize that Westinghouse doesn't roll off 
the tongue as the most common of monitors, but they are unique in one very 
important respect. They're one of a limited number of companies using a true 
1920x1080 37" panel.  Most use 1366x768.

Hooked it up to my PC this morning.  I discovered the quality of the card 
matters.  On my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (the best card available when I bought 
it), the results are pretty good.  On a new nVidia 6600 (currently a 
mid-range card), the results are stunning.

I haven't profiled it yet, but it should profile fine, since it is a DVI 
connection with individual color adjustments.

It's like working on a painting.  Photoshop at 37 inches.

The nice part was I bought an open-box.  $1499.
