Flat panel displays in MRI environments

I am a vision researcher running experiments in fMRI systems. We currently use a Westinghouse 32" LCD display in an electrically-shielded aluminum enclosure to display images to our subjects in the MRI bore. The display sits about 2m from the bore and is viewed through a mirror.
We want to upgrade. I need a flat panel display with the following specs:
1: Bigger than 32" ideally (40? 46?)
2: No (or minimal) additional image processing (so no "color enhancement", "motion de-blurring" etc). I want the display to faithfully reflect the signal I send out from my video card.
3: Minimal ferric material. We expect to strip out some ferric material like screws, brackets etc. But the chassis, box etc should be aluminum or plastic. Ideally the internal PSU should be modular so that we can re-locate it outside the room. Even better would be a device that uses a wall-mounted transformer and accepts a DC power input.
4: Bright, fast, high contrast ratio display with VGA +/or DVI input
5: At least 1024x768 resolution.

I'm looking at the Samsung Syncmaster 460PX device right now. Can anyone tell me if they think this is a likely match? Samsung phone tech support say that they have are in a meeting. For the last few days. Any other suggestions?


Thanks
