Came this week.

No dead pixels.
Backlight not an issue. (can adjust it through the OSD)

Went for the wall mount because of my desk and space issues.
Very easy to install.
(don't mind all the wires) :)

Quick pic.

Westinghouse 37"


Quick size comparisson.
Next to my Dell 20.1 2001FP
(bad lighting sorry about the crappy pic)

Next to the 2001FP 20.1"

Ordered the wall mount right from Westinghouse.
I didn't want to worry about compatability issues with any other mount.

I got the flat mount, they have one that tilts also if you look under accessories on the page.

Ordered from there website directly.
They shipped it out that day, and I got it in 2 days.Very fast!

Looks nice. Do you use it as a PC display and if so do you sit at the desk or back on a sofa or sumfing? Wireless input devices? It looks like the desk would interfere with viewing from lower seating. What's the black surface in the foreground? What's the wire going up? Enquiring minds wanna know.

Pc display- YES (primary)
Sit at the desk- YES (about 3-3.5 feet in my chair im at)
Wireless input- NO (corded mouse and keyboard work fine at my distance)
Desk does not interfear at all (its a slight tad above eye level, which is perfect for me)
Black surface in the foreground is part of my desk :)

And the mysterious wire going up? Center speaker to my surround sound. (Looks crappy but I had no choice)

My surround sound is mounted in the cornors on the wall.

Hawt TV/monitors. I want one, but there's no way in hell (even after my Conroe upgrade) that my system could push pixels at that res.

Oh, and a quick question for the OP/Rage187: WHY WHY WHY, with all the screen real-estate, do you browse full screen?!

If its the only thing i'm doing I will go full screen.

When I'm doing 10 things at once believe me I take advantage of the screen real estate :)

I do sit at my desk.

But with me leaning back in my chair, I'm about 3-3.5 feet away. Which is perfect for reading text, and PERFECT for playning games.

How high up do those wires go before they get to your speakers?

I'm not sure how your room is set up, but you'll probably get the best quality if you're able to get them to line up with you at ear level or at least have them pointed at you in the listening position.

Ya they are up higher than I would have liked but sometimes you have to make due with what you have. :)

They are pointing at me. They swivel. So there pointed directly to me. All 5 are.

Even though there not exactly ear level they still sound great to me!
