HD resolution, all the inputs necessary, great price. Expect this thing to be well $1,000 by September with rebates. I've always liked Viewsonic, but you have to be careful with the whole "response time" game. It's a bathtub full of snake oil. Some measure gray-to-gray, some black-to-white, other pick the shorter time between rising and falling pixel response time. In application, this display may be as much as 30ms response... either way, I think I've found a great TV/monitor for the bedroom.

it says 1366x768 resolution, so does do 1080i?

Or is it even an issue if you want to hook a source capable of High-Def broadcast?

Either way, the price is definitely attractive.

Thanks in advance,

Any chance of a review? I'm curious too about it's "practical" response time. If the image is good (and IMOHO Viewsonic makes the best monitors I've ever seen) then it would be a killer TV for my b-room system (mostly for playing videogames, with the occasional flick or TV show).
