...and you're reading this not because you care, but because you love hardware, damn it. And that's the way it should be.

20.1" widescreen LCD, 1680x1050 native resolution, 12ms response grey/grey, 16ms black/white, 600:1 contrast ratio, and I think 300 cd/m2 brightness (it's BRIGHT). And it's super crisp. Doesn't get soggy in milk.

Sweet!

I work for Sharp. You should see our 45" native 1080 x 1920 Aquos driven by a PC via DVI. It's total overkill, which is just the way I like it. We showed a couple of 65" LC-TVs at CES, but those are just prototypes. They'd be a bit big for laptop panels!

Holy crap! Well, if I had a studio, I might go for a huge display..

But I'm cramped here.

Can't wait to see how the whole OLED technology develops. A display slightly thinner than a CD, and flexible. I hear you can even bend it while it's displaying things. Amazing.

Incredible. Congratulations. My 18" LCD feels small now.

Occasionally I daydream of owning dual Apple 30" displays, but then reality rears its ugly head.

Wow, very nice Sam. I recently got two Dell 17; LCDS, theyre not widescreen but theyre easy on the eyes, have less heat and draw less power.

Gotta love em.
