    FE991SB or P95F+

    Hi Aravot, Best Buy carries the Viewsonic A90F+ which will have a similar display compared to the P95F+. I too was considering the P95F+ and went to Best Buy and checked out the A90F+ and I was very impressed with its display, even compared to the LCDs displayed around it. Ordered mine on 11/24...
