I am definitely look= ing at BenQ. The PV270. Choking a little on the $900
price tag...but as someone once said "I've never regretted getting= a
bigger hard drive, more RAM, or a finer display."

Which model BenQ do you have, Robert?

My shortlist is:

BenQ PV270
Dell U2717D
Samsung S27H850QFN (love these naming conventions)
