Digital BW, The Print

There are medium quality digital frames (which is what I mentioned  
being used in galleries), but nothing in the Eizo category. For that,  
the new Mac mini, with miniDVI and miniDisplayPort would be the  
ticket, to run a large display, or a large TV.

Actually I just purchased one, to drive my home theater system, so  
I'll be testing it via both those outputs within the next few days.  
We'll see how my images look at 1180p on a 32 inch LCD TV in  
comparison to a 30" Cinema display.
