LCD monitors

[Mike Diehl]

Folks,

We use roughly 32 of the flat screen monitors in our public area and so 
far, it has almost been a year and they have been solid...Students and 
outside patrons love them...I provide the  support for them and I'm quite 
happy.  The technology has come a long way in LCD panels....We use IBM T55A 
, monitors.

just my opinion.

Mike
