30” NEC LCD

New 30” NEC LCD with HDMI and DVI

Oh COME ON! Why 30” ! I mean, YEAH it's cool to be able to get both HDMI and DVI on a 30” screen, but HEY! This'll cost almost 1900 EUR! Really, I don't understand.

Anyway, this new LCD is not for everyone, it's designed to be used by professionals rather than the average Joe.
