Well, I went to out bi-monthly sales meeting with the dayjob, won a gift card to Circuit City, and picked up a Gateway 21" HD Monitor (http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Gateway-Monitor-FPD2185W/sem/rpsm/oid/138525/catOid/-12965/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do). This thing is pretty sweet (compared to what I was using.) Just had to share my excitement with you guys.

My intial thoughts... this is a very decent monitor. Though not able to display 1920x1080 natively, it does 720p awesome!

I'm able to use the component inputs to hook up to my HC1 and preview it in HD (though downsampled a bit, but it does accept the 1080i signal)

I guess this will work until the 1080 displays come down.

Now I gotta find a DVI cable for cheap. Probably look on ebay.

Cool how much did it cost? Is it a computer monitor or TV?

$499. It's both actually. Monitor is the main function, but you can feed TV signals to it from Cable, Satellite, or whatever else through DVI or component inputs.
