    *** PSA *** 2001FP LCD will ruin your life.

    The 2001FP didn't ruin my life; just my Christmas. :( Either none of you game with yours or I got the bad one -- BF42 is an unplayable ghost-riddled, slide-show. CoD is better, but only marginally. I haven't been motion-sick playing an FPS since Wolfenstein 3D. For graphics/video it's...
