Digital BW, The Print

I love my new LCD after 20 years of CRT's. Contrast and brightness are
far superior. Now I'm not at critical as some but I must spend 8 hours
a day looking at a monitor between work and home. Image matching works
fine with the LCD. (a $300 Samsung 15")

Another reason is real estate. The depth of a big CRT is just too much
for my desk at home. 

If you want big, the NEC salesman came by today with a new 30" LCD
monitor. I think retail is $3,495 if you're deep of pocket. 

BTW, if anyone knows anyone who has three 61" NEC plasmas, I need them
desparately for a job we are doing. NEC has none, distributors have
none. I'm hoping to find them somewhere. I already have the touch
panels for them and the rest of the system has been built. It's a F-16
pilot debriefing system using images from the nose mounted camera and
our customer is leaving for an extended overseas assignment in about
ten days.
