Hi everyone, I plunged in and after reading a lot of reviews, ordered an Acer 17-inch LCD; every reviewer loved it and there were some senior citizens who said they just plugged it in and it worked without any problems. They commented about the bright, crisp display. Hopefully it will be compatible with the optacon. These monitors have really come down in price and I've never had such a large screen although people think this is small these days. Will let you know more in a day or two.
