Thanks to all who responded about an HDTV as a monitor but maybe all I
need is a current LCD monitor. Yesterday I happened to spot 22" and 26"
Samsung monitors both of which looked quite good. I don't recall the
model numbers but they convinced me that LCD monitors have probably
progressed in image quality since I last took a serious look. Either
one would put the Krappy Kolor Laptop to shame.
