Greetings,

Just a quick note.

We have posted a review of the Mitsubishi 40" MDT402S LCD Monitor. This commercial unit is designed for industrial tasks like video walls or digital signage. And though it delivers a beautiful image, at almost $6000, you can find comparable and less expensive alternatives for a home theater.

Speaking of living room la vida loca, you might have noticed that Panasonic plans to offer the 103 plasma, 1080 p, HDTV just in time for Christmas. They have been flaunting this gorgeous beast at conferences for some time, but now they have actually begun to take orders. So, it's time to save up your nickels and dimes and a couple of gold ingots. Sources say that the Suggested Retail Price will be around $70,000. Who knows, the street price could be less.

On a less stratospheric level, we are finishing a review of a Viewsonic 32" HDTV, which we should have posted by the end of the week.

Take care,

Dick De Jong
