PCStats have a review of the 18.1" Samsung SyncMaster 181B LCD display:

Thin seems to be the name of the game with LCD's this year, and if the Über secret product planers we get to glimpse at are any indication, bezel thickness is going to be sliming way, way down. Getting back to the 181B the first thing which will strike you is the novel placement of the main control panel. Rather than dropping it in the same place below the LCD, Samsung have moved it over to the right hand side. The change is a good one, but in low light the embossed descriptions are near impossible to read. The 181B series uses a 18.1" a-si TFT/PVA (Pattern Vertical Alignment) 1280x1024 resolution screen for viewing comparable to that of a 19" CRT display. The TFT panel is capable of displaying 16.7 Million colors, and features a 0.281mm dot pitch, contrast ratio of 400:1, brightness of 250 cd/m2, pixel response time of 25ms and very wide viewing angles of (80/80/80/80).

Hmmm, @ 1200US$ I think I'll build 3 new computers. :roll:

Anything in a more realistic price range Ian. ;)

Good idea Mucks!

While visiting dabs.com, I came across a 42" Multimedia Plasma Monitor - only £2,899.00 (£3,406.32)! Further details can be found here. :eek:

Also, I found this - a 50" Plasma monitor, which is £5,450.00 (£6,403.75)! :crazy:

If you bought one of the above, you would need a new desk - a bigger desk to be exact. ;)
