>Rick, what screen make/model are you using?

It's pretty old by now - it's a Philips BDM4065... I've had this for over 5 years now. It's 40" and it's big enough to run in native resolution without scaling. I think one could get away with a 34" and no scaling too. The Philips monitors are also not very expensive. I think even back then I paid $700 for it... Screen quality is quite good but not amazing - mainly the color profile is mediocre, but crispness for text is excellent.
