As one of the first ones to utilize the Westy's and Sceptres here, I would recommend you include my present 1080p HTPC LCD nowadays: Westy 47" LCM (or even the newer TX models with built in tuners).....easily better picture then my previous 37" Sceptres / Westys.
Just want to mention something that i find particular interesting happening in today's consumer market: the marriage of everyday TV's and computers. A couple of days ago I bought my new 52" Samsung LN52A750 LCD HDTV. Having been an ardent HTPC user for years, I was skeptical of the support from the mainstream brands , even with today's newer panels that feature 10 bit display, low 4ms response time, 120 Hz refresh rates, and most importantly Frame Interpolation Engines (FIE)! For those unfamiliar with this new FIE technology, the sets have an internal processor to add additional (interpolated) frames during the reconstruction from 60Hz input to 120 Hz input making fast movement very smooth and fluid, 3D or Soap Opera-sih like. On high definition content, especially CGI based films, it looks amazing! Anyhow, it used to be a hit or miss affair connecting a computer to your average home TV even with the big brands, but now all major players support PC connection natively letting you even bypass most of the internal scalers/electronics if you so wish. It's been a long time coming since about 5 years ago when i first purchased my no-name brand eccentric Sceptre 37" to now a mainstream TV set for PC usage. You really need to see these sets to believe the technology advancement these days! P.S. Here's my new "LCD" : http://i59.photobucket.com/alb.../Computer/IMG_0164.jpg .
