don't know about westinghouse. I saw some WH sets at Sams club and Best Busys, and the picture looks faded. real bland colors. The Sony Bravia 46 blows me away. Sharp is not bad either. but yeah, saw a best buy demo of 1080p on blue ray. pretty amazing.

Good points.

I was mainly watching it in a dark room without any other monitors to compare. NY Yankees too ... so not a lot of colors.

I could count the whiskers on the batter ... and the motion was perfect (no stepping).

Anyone ever try using a big screen LCD TV as a computer monitor? the new ones run at 1920x1080, so in theory you get a bigger desktop. any opinions? too big? hard on the eyes?

It wouldn't display *more* than a 24" UXGA, just everything would be bigger... including any pixelation. A 46" LCD for a monitor will be just fine if you want to view it from 8-10ft, but not up close.
 
yeah, the idea is to have everything bigger. I'm tired of looking at small letters on a 19". that seems to be the consensus, not good for a desk/up close viewing. another idea is to run a USB hub 8-10 feet to the couch for keyboard/mouse/gamepad, and trade from the couch?

A coworker of mine got a Westinghouse 1080p monitor to do demos at trade shows:

http://www.westinghousedigital.com/details.aspx?itemnum=59

I think it was only about $1700.

He hooked it up to his Digital HD Cable Set-top box and WOW! The SA set top box drove it to 1080p on the YES network. It is the best HD picture I have seen yet.

Now, I understand that the set top box is selecting the digital source based on the monitor and sending pixels in digital form and right on the screen. No need for any conversion or a tuner or anything else to get in the way of the pure digital 1080. Nice.

With the new Cable or Satellite boxes .... you just need a monitor.

I doubt anybody is broadcasting in 1080p. So far, the highest you can get is 1080i from your local cable company or satelite provider. The only way to get 1080p is to play a Blue ray or HD DVD program on a dedicated player conected with the right cables.
