I currently have a dual 18" LCD setup for my computer, but thinking of buying a 37" LCD TV to replace my TV and LCDs.

Does anyone use an 37~50" LCD TV for a computer monitor? What are some things you like or hate about it? Any pics would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a 27" LCDTV and at first it looked out of place on my desk but now that I've gotten used to it, the screen doesn't seem all that big anymore. Of course it depends how close to the screen you're sitting. And in most cases, 37" may be over-doing it... somewhere around 30" is a good size in my opinion.

I've got that display. Got it for $1700. It is AWESOME. The only slight slight downside is that only the first DVI slot can do the full resolution of 1920x1080.

The other DVI only goes up to 1280x1024. DVI1 and VGA do 1920x1080. Overall the display is great. It supporst HDCP and has a good amount of inputs.
