Ok, I just spent $2100 on TWO teevees, flat screen LCDs.... uh....

for someone who doesn't WATCH that much teevee, what on earth have I done?

THEY ARE SO KEWL! And take up NO SPACE AT ALL I LOVE THEM!

Yikes. What was I thinking?

THEY ARE SO KEWL!

These are the genuine flat screens, hang on the wall teevees... like a 1.5 inch profile... THEY ARE SO KEWL!

1. I'm tempted and I think they look great

but, like many other new products, the price has got to come down. I love the Gateway ad, but if they are flat against the wall, how do you hook up the cable?

2. They have a thinner adapter wire that comes with, and the back is

well designed with covered port pockets that easily come off and on for the wiring.

REALLY well designed. Idiot proof.

3. My justification is that my house is VERY small, a cottage really,

and space is at a premium, and I HATE GIANT APPLIANCES. My other teevees had a foot print of at least 3 square feet per teevee. These got NUTHIN.

7. 20 inch screens on both of them... So they're not huge, but then

the distances are short, from the bed and the sofa to each one.

Not home theater, but THEY ARE SO KEWL!

Come on over, I'll COOK!

9. Neat!

Sweet! I'll make chili - you can't have a Super Bowl party without it! :P

That Gateway is calling to me, but since I can't pay cash for it, it will have to wait. :D

6. Can they also be used as computer monitors?

I have been wondering about that.

8. I thought about that. I think that the tech industry isn't up to speed

on that yet, since that would be LOGICAL, right?

I think there is cross technology happening with that, I hear HP's laps are teevee capable, but haven't looked into it too far.

11. depends...

If the computer has an "S" video out and the flat screen will accept "S" video in then yes. With most any decent TV adapter card (such as the ATI All In wonder pro series) you can use your TV or flat screen for a monitor.

Add a wireless key board and mouse and you can surf from bed.
