Thanks. 

I think that is very interesting that Westington sells their TV's as Monitors 
savings tons of costs on the Tuners etc.. Is this why Westington's prices are 
the way they are?

Because that's a damn good price for a true 1080p unit.. 

But I don't think anyone in the world has one in stock..
