This is nice. Especially the resolution (1920 x 1080), which would allow you to use it as a computer monitor as well as to watch TV. Price has not been announced at this time, but I i8magine that it will knock a few grand off the cost of current (smalller) LCD screens once it ships.

As an aside, I spent new years day watching the Court TV NYPD Blue 3rd season marathon. What a great show. During the commercial breaks I flipped t to ESPN2's World's Strongest Man marathon. I was in heaven.  My wife, on the other hand, was wishing that I had the TV in the bedroom working so that she could watch one of her shows. This brings me to my point, many of the HDTV units that are on the market now have a dual tuner built in that allows you to display two channels side by side. If you can adapt to having two shows on at once, I imagine this could end the disputes over what show to watch, as well as allow one person to watch two shows at the same time.
