I can get a K10D and a pair of DA Limited lenses for the cost of a good HDTV up here (around $2500CDN for a truly good 42" set, $2300 for the K10D and 21 & 70 Limiteds)). That's not cheap, let alone cheaper than good cameras and lenses.
Monitor quality matters to me as a Photog. TV doesn't (Why should it? My prints go on walls, not TV's). J. C.
