a massive 640 x 480

Dignan: Yes, when I first heard that I was very surprised. But I assumed the analog nature of CRT televisions helped smooth out the picture. What I wonder is: when I watch a DVD (16:9) on my 1600x1200 (4:3) monitor, is the image hurt because it's not the native DVD resolution (720 x 480?), or does it look better because it's a higher resolution?

nice to be able to sit at a distance, say, reclined on a nice sofa

drakino: I once considered mounting an LCD panel on a long, multi jointed swing arm, mounted to a table next to my couch. That way I could sit on the couch with the keyboard and mouse, but swing the monitor to 1.5 feet in front of my face as usual. The trick would be getting some kind of reverse-KVM where I could use either the couch keyboard/video/mouse or the setup at my desk for the same computer. Maybe wireless keyboard/mouse with dual video cards sending duplicate images to desk and couch?

Too bad I pulled the plug on the whole idea (and the third display: the ceiling mounted projector pointing at the drop down screen) because I'm broke like the Windows 2000 Plug and Play service (and have been at work way too long fixing it).
