Wonder why so many flights are late? They are waiting on the A/V geeks that are drooling over Samsung’s SyncMaster 820DXn. [Loved this line, had to leave it in too...]

This 82-inch display is designed for airports, malls and other digital signage and corporate gigs, but we deem it more than worthy of anyone’s living room space—if you have space for this big boy.

The main hook is a built-in computer, which would mean we’d never have to miss a minute of “American Idol” to voice our disgust over the Internet. Specs on that little nugget includes an AMD Athlon64 X2 3400+, 1.8 GHz dual core processor, 4GB of flash storage memory, 512 MB DDR2 RAM, an ATI chipset and a Win XPe operating system.

But will the forthcoming DIRECTV PC client run on this one? :)

(Ouch! $76k, I could buy many front projectors and many computers for that price.)

Cheers,
Tom

(Ouch! $76k, I could buy many front projectors and many computers for that price.) You said it. You can pick up the Panny 103" plasma for a paltry $60k and add your own kick-ass PC to it for a lot less. :) /steve
