LG 42LE5400 More than I expected.

I was looking for a large screen monitor for a project I am working on that requires a fair bit of screen real estate. I was tired of toggling between tabs and moving windows around my iMac monitor. Buying an 30″ Apple Monitor screen would have set me back $1799. I started to do some research and I was surprised to find price of comparable LED screens to be significantly less.

LG 42LE5400 so far so good.

This is my first HD TV, so I don’t have much comparison. The features look good, and picture quality is good.
