That's REALLY SOMETHING Alan ! Must be an incredible experience. Almost as if you are in the game. Just the size, along with clarity of everything must be unbelievable, and it's probably ALOT easier on the eyes for extended play like you are saying. Pretty OUTSTANDING stuff ! Thanks for giving us a glimpse at your new monitor, and screen shots. Congrats on this, and Enjoy !

All you need now, Alan, are a couple more 42-inchers so you can surround yourself in game video.

I almost went that route, those are actually 24" monitors I think, but the bezel edges really bother me...one HUGE one is working for me!

I could get a tuner card for my rig and watch TV on it but I specifically didn't want a tuner in the monitor because the way a TV picture and a computer picture are interpreted are totally different and a tuner greatly affects image lag from a computer...

On the stand...
I may put in back just on the desk, while the distance is ok, I find myself with my head back to see the top of it...
