Target has a 15.6 also for about the same price. I saw it at the store.

Of course with these all you get is VGA input or monitor port tongue.gif

YOU mean WXGA? thats what the ad said

No, what he meant was that, it being an LCD monitor, it only has a VGA input.

Input Video Signal: VGA

Yeah I guess I should have stated that. I will change it. Thanks.

I should also state this here "I do NOT know if this monitor has FFC issues" please buy at your own risk.

Thanks Quasi for pointing this out in other threads.

I purchased the Westinghouse W1603 At Costco; $189.95. I did the LCD strip, you can see pictres at my Plog, Dave's Second Attempt using a 15.6 HDTV.

Picture quality is good and appears so far that there are no FFC issuses. I will keep you posted on my Plog.
