Re: 30" monitor and what video card?

Adding the scaler, and a bunch of inputs, is a fairly
major change; one I'd expect to be accompanied by
both a model branding and SKU change - as there's
otherwise ample opportunity for customers to seek
the new model and get an unusable remaindered old one.

Unless hp is planning to abandon the 30in segment
(as they did briefly with the 23/24in segment),
I'd expect an hp scaler30 this year, under a new
model number and SKU.

My guess is that hp is anxious to ditch the LP3065.
On one of their monitor summary pages, they list
all the sizes in the format:
Model
Size A/R Type

There's a 3rd line under the entry for:
HP LP3065
30" Widescreen LCD Monitor
(Dual-link DVI graphics required)

I don't recall seeing that earlier. I'm guessing that
it's been bought by some customers who either
couldn't use it at all, or couldn't use it as
expected, based on how smaller monitors work.

... so you might actually be stuck with only the
Dell having a built-in scaler.

The Gateway XHD3000 pretty clearly has a scaler.
However, they want USD$1700 for it, and may not export.
