Thx - I tried Googling, but I wasn't coming up with the right search terms to get anything other than the televisions, although watching Bloomberg UK, I see them using these side-by-side as their data terminals (Wide screen tv seems to be making good inroads in Britain as people migrate beyond the previous 5 channel universe by moving to digital terrestrial.) Says something when you are dealing with so much data that you need two wide screen monitors to work through things. At least now I can throw some $$$ information at this client in case he thinks he can justify this - he is coding realtime data analysis systems, and has mentioned about being able to run the reporting application in its normal 4:3 format, with an xterm and emacs on the side. Might be more likely to be cheaper with xinerama and two cards and monitors for now... -- Mark L.
