Hi all,

It has been suggested in the past that it may be worth the club purchasing 
a largish LCD television, given how cheap they are becoming. Such a screen 
would probably serve much the same purpose as our current digital 
projector, but is inarguably better than a projector in almost every way 
(image size and viewing angle being the notable exceptions, with the 
latter being hardly and issue anymore).

Office Works currently has an Akai 40 inch full HD television on sale for 
$300. I bring this to the lists looking for alternatives or reasons to 
reconsider or forego this idea.

As a minor secondary note, a relative of mine has offered me a number of 
LCD monitors he has recently received. They are ex-enterprise and 
reportedly in good nick. From what he was saying I believe at least one of 
them to be 24 inch, thought I do not know about the rest. I have already 
accepted the offer, as we can keep any we want and donate/dump the rest.

Regards,
Gozz
