[sllug-members]: TVs with PC connectivity

[raven]

I have the larger model of that and it does 1080p here's a link to a 
newer revision of mine Mine just has 2 DVI inputs (LVM-37w1)  This link 
is the LVM-37w3 
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1140394400806&type=product

I've got a linux media machine hooked up to it, my wii, and xbox360 
(vga)  Component for the xbox had some issues in 1080p I haven't tried 
it since the new update though.

I'm really just chiming in to say I like westinghouse and would buy 
another if I had a need.
