and remember, maximum res on the screen is 1360x768, so you certainly won't like using it as a monitor - it's designed as a tv, for viewing at a distance. if you want a large monitor, try apple's 30" beast (which has an appropriate resolution for its size for use on a desktop)
Argh! Well it looks like I'll be sticking with the 24" Dell lol. I can't afford the Apple 30" just yet, I want to see if the proposed 30" monitor from Dell will be cheaper.
