42" is too big...well even 37 is too big for my needs, but i didnt like any 32s i saw...
also, it is 720p, i know its not really a big deal, but i'll be able to have more depth on my desktop. also, i dont really want a built in tuner, unless it has cablecard. it doesnt have VGA input either...or as many inputs as the westy

Crutchfield.com has it for $999 and free shipping. Check this Hot Deals thread.

This doesn't look too bad if you don't need 1080p. I can you can get free shipping and $20 off if you do that paypal promotion.

Then I would go for the Westinghouse. Olevia uses that bad ATI chip that causes ghosting, doesn't it?

I'm pretty tempted by that 37" 1080P Westinghouse myself. I'm trying to convince myself I don't need 37" for my computer monitor.

not really sure about the olevia...all i hear was it was crap for gaming...

hehe...37 is overkill for a PC monitor, no doubt, but oblivion and other games will look soooo badass

its just the 32 inch olevia i think that has the problem

either way, the 1080p westty is a better choice

there's only a few models of the olevia that have the problem, i think the 2 series. some of their other ones use different chips and are ok.

It is awesome as a computer monitor.
I use it mainly as a PC monitor and it rocks.
Here is my setup since it so big.

As Christmas approaches and LCD prices continue to drop, expect another 800 or so.

i have one! i love it as a computer monitor, i highly recommend it.

imo, wayyy too much money for a 37 with a not-stellar name. also, judging from what i saw in the store, the 32w3 (or was it w6?) had a VERY noticeable choppy effect to it... a very standout trait compared to everything else. it wasnt so much ghosting as it was choppy.

the westy's with tv tuners built in are completely differnt...

the LVM-xxxx models are the monitors only and generally perform better, AFIK
