looking to buy widescreen LCD.  what kind are available in the market?  thanks

price and size preference..?

price should be less than US$100
size, preferable at least 15 inch, bigger is better
prefer just LCD, no integrated speakers, etc
input should be at least VGA, if there is DVI, it’s better but not necessary

less than 100 dollars?? :shock:  i don’t think you are going to find anything for that price..

even the lcd’s on my jeep’s head rest cost more than 100 dollars..

must be a typo, I feel

my guess is that he meant $1000…but, if anyone can find one for under a hundred, let me know.

i mean $1000, not $100
if i can find something for $100, i guess either it’s a stolen item or i know insider from the factory…

any suggestion?  widescreen LCD only cause i like to watch movie in this aspect ratio

there are 2 in cosco right now that are really cheap! one is less than 400.  sorry lost the model # but it got good reviews on the net. i wish i had more room in my carry on, id get one!

but what i want is one that does TV and PC, and for 400$.  i dont really care if it has a tuner (those are cheap enough to get) but it seems hard to find such an obvious device with picInpic support and perhaps even video out.  gosh i wish i had an electronics factory….

have an electronics factory…

  hehe, you’re not the first.  or the last. i wish i had one… :(

as for the widescreen, i recommend CNET’s pricegrabber and flatscreen comparison, because though you may think you may getting a good deal, many cheap flatscreens out there have crap specs.

For what it’s worth, the pundits at PC Mag do a fair job of weeding out the real losers. I got my planar based partially on their review. They ranked the color balance. accuracy and resolution right up there but marked it down for its narrower viewing angle. Saved 2-300 over the “better” units.

You should give some thought on how you’re going to use it. If, unlike my use, two or more people need to see it, then wider viewing-angle is important. If it’s also your TV/Video, then wide-screen would definately be in order. If you’re going to do more than casual photo editing, then color balance and accuracy are important. If money is no object, you can have it all :drool:
