    AOC 27"
    Just picked up a Vizio 26" LED HDTV to "test out". Do note that I dont intend to watch cable TV with this display. I stopped watching TV years ago and now I only watch DVDs, anime fansubs, and streaming shows.
    I did a small write up on my facebook, ill just copy and paste it here

    Comparing color accuracy and picture quality with a 22" AOC LED monitor VS a 26" Vizio LED TV.

    Specifications:

    [AOC 22" LED Monitor]
    --------------------------
    Maximum resolution: 1680x1050, forced 1920x1080 (gaming)
    Screen finish: glossy + anti glare
    Response time: 2ms
    Contrast ratio: 100,000:1
    Thinnest section: 0.5"
    Thickest section: 1"
    Power consumption: 28W

    [Vizio 26" LED HDTV]
    ---------------------------
    Maximum resolution: 1360x768 (desktop), forced 1920x1080 (gaming)
    Screen finish: matte
    Response time: 8ms
    Contrast ratio: 20,000:1
    Thinnest section: 0.75"
    Thickest section: 2"
    Power consumption: 44W

    ==============

    Black level test winner: AOC
    Response time/ghosting test winner: tie, no difference
    Color accuracy test winner: AOC
    Viewing angle test winner: AOC
    Skinny contest: AOC
    Power draw winner: AOC

    Winner: 22" AOC LED monitor. :)


    I say that I am "testing" out the TV because Im not sure if I am going to keep it. It was $380 after tax, $348 before. A 27" monitor is roughly the same price, but there is no 27" LED monitor on the market and I have been waiting eagerly for someone to make one. As of this moment, the biggest LED monitor you will find is 24". If a 27" monitor is $400, then you can expect a 27" LED backlit one to be like +$600? Really out of budget just for better picture quality and pixel density.
    The product page can be found here http://www.vizio.com/m260va.html#support

    Right now, the only negatives of the Vizio 26" LED HDTV is that its 720p native. So you cant sit that close to it or the pixels will be visible. I think sitting about 2.5-3ft away seems to remove the pixels. You cant use programs that need a larger resolution, like Photoshop, easily as the DPI of the menus etc is still large even after using a smaller DPI in windows.
    I was able to fully force 1080P in windows and in games now. If you dont sharpen the picture a bit and raise the DPI to 150, it gets kind of hard to read. But as before, the pixel density is still not that great, so I dont recommend sitting up close to this display. When forcing 1080P, Im having strange glitches in photoshop even though the DPI scaling is disabled on the shortcut. ;/

    I might return it soon and just pick up my back up plan; a 25" HP monitor. The 27" HP is the ideal size, but for whatever reason, it gets pink when you look at it at an angle...The 23-25" ones dont do this.

    Just realized that this Vizio 26" LED TV (720P) JUST came out, and I wont be keeping it because the 1080P version is coming out in May for roughly $400-450.

    The 1080P version should be the perfect display for me as I need the higher resolution for Photoshop and what not. At 1360x768 (native) I can see the pixels pretty bad :(

    This is my baby, I bought this stereo when I was 15 years old when I was working at McDonald's making $5 an hr, I don't know how I saved up for it,

    Yamaha NS-300 fronts, 400watt peak, 30-35000hz, cost me $1600aus for the pair...

    Nice case and monitor ;), I have the same. I hate the monitor stand on the Acer monitors, I have mine propped up on an old power supply box now, they're too low.

    Jae-So, as for the wall mounting idea, I don't think you'd get the best effect as you have a duel screen setup with 2 diff. monitors. Wall mounting looks really good to emphasise either a single monitor or multiple similar monitors. It is just personal preference though ;)

    ^ yeh I would only wall mount one to emphasize it, the second is just for secondary use, web browsing etc
