Hi There !

I would like to buy a 30" - 60" computer monitor.
The largest I've found this far is 22".

Given that TV's are routinely sold from 30" to 60",
I assume monitors are also available.

Please note that a presentation projector which projects computer
screens onto a wall for group viewing...is not what I need.

Rather, I need a regular computer monitor (on steroids!) for
use with a regular Dell computer, doing regular Word
and Excel document processing.  Just regular stuff.  :-)

A 5-star answer would be the name of the manufacturer
of one of these monitors.

All comments greatly appreciated !

Thanks.
ron

Hi, Ron!

Is resolution important here? If, for instance, a monitor can be found
that will look good at 800 X 600, would that suffice, or do you need a
higher-res display?

Here is a 40-inch beauty that can handle wide-XGA (1,280 X 768):

As I sit here staring at my itty-bitty monitor, I think large thoughts. ;-)

Let me know if I can target the search more specifically, or do some
price-hunting for you.

Best wishes,
Pink

Ron,

Since you posted a remark to Hedgie in the "Clarify Answer" section,
I'm required to respond, since I was the Researcher who posted the
answer. Unless you need something further from me regarding this
question, you needn't respond to my response. Endless rounds of
"Clarification Ping-Pong" can be quite exhausting. ;-)

~Pink

PinkFreud,

Outstanding help and advice, as always !

Thank you.
ron

You can consider a computer screen projector. That way, you can make
the image as big as you want.

As for real physical monitors, Apple offers a 23" display
(http://www.apple.com/displays/acd23/) at 1920 by 1200 resolution.

"Just regular stuff"??

Ron, you're making me *drool*.  Dell had a *gorgeous* 40 inch LCD on
their kiosk at the local mall over Christmas, and all I could think
was "Oooh, if I had that much screen to play with, I could
turbo-research."

And here you are talking about "regular stuff".  Sheesh.

Missy:

Drool away....46" at an almost reasonable price (what the heck am I
saying?!? must... put... away... that... credit... card....):

I greatly appreciate your comments. And so much passion !

Maybe I should start hanging out in Best Buy rather than the produce section.

heh  heh  heh

Thanks again!
ron

Isn't that like sitting in the front row at the theater?

Hope you don't get whiplash. =)

Must be nice to have $10K to drop on a monitor...

Hey Ron,

If you're hanging out in the produce section, I wanna come too!  It's
soup season, and you wouldn't believe the beautiful vegetable soups
and stews you can make with the veggies available now!

Great Answer, 

But if you a bit flexible in 'what is a monitor' , 
you can get even more at

http://9xmedia.com/ 

Expand your vision  :-)

respree----thanks for your comments.  The whiplash and the 10 grand go together.
Here's my sneaky plan:  buy the hardware, fake the whiplash, file a
lawsuit, and then the monitor is free.

Kidding!   Just a bad joke for my ambulance-chasing friends...

Thanks for writing.
ron

missy---soup rocks!

As always, thank you for your cheery comments.
