The biggest screen size is about 60 inches. In other words, really really big.

WOW!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

So what is the price, about $600 USD per inch? $3,600.00 for a 60 inch screen. I would love something like that for my computer. I could use the life size ICONs. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Thanks for the info, but what about manufactures? Who's got a good rep and a quality product?

Sharp Aquos and anything by LG are fantastic. (LG's stuff all comes from Zenith's foray into the high-tech display market a few years back.)

If you go for a rear-projection setup with a DLP projector like NEC and a hanging or mounted translucent screen like a Da-Lite you can do 200" or more. It's all time and money my friends.

Well, after seven years of dedicated service, my Compaq monitor finally bit the big one, refusing to power up, etc., etc. So, I just ordered a Samsung to replace the old soldier. This means a viking funeral for both computer and screen now... Guess I am making a trip to the coast this weekend.

Anyone else ever play The Lost Vikings? I almost beat that.

You, my cheesy little friend, are obnoxious.

Yet not entirely unamusing.

I'll just Google the name of the game I guess.

Re: Flat Planel Displays Are WAY Better

Oh, sorry - I lost track of what I had posted there.

As far as I know, PC/DOS. It's a humourous platformer, wherein you control three vikings, one with a shield, one with a bow and one that's athletic. Not at the same time. The've been abducted by aliens and have to escape. Little logic is involved in the games, but they are very fun.

I nearly beat it, too.
