Check out the Pioneer plasma CMX models. They are commercial versions that are designed to be on 24/7. They have a much better power supply than the consumer versions. They do not have a tuner. They do not come with speakers. They do have an audio amp if you want to buy the optional speakers. You can also pick the video card that suits your own needs. If you want a card with DVI or HDMI, make sure the video card is HDCP compatible.
"Professional" or "Commerical" Display Monitors
As an audiophile first, and a home theatre enthusiast second, I am always irritated by the cheapo internal amps and speakers attached to flat panel and traditional televisions.
Certainly with DVDs and even with television, I am more than happy to monitor through a proper audio system, which I have for both my home theatre projector setup and also next to my TV.
Yet even in audiophile and video forums, consumer grade displays with the cheesey speakers are regularly featured on the latest recommended list.
Some have suggested that the speakers, at least, can often be detached and discarded, but this offends my high end sensibilities, and I dont really want to pay for something I am not going to use.
Does anyone have links to more information, vendors, dealers, manufacturers etc for both flat panel and traditional CRT monitors WITHOUT tuners and WITHOUT amps and speakers, please? Does this exist for LCD display screens with video inputs as well?
Is there any lag in the video technology for this market? Or can I - hopefully - buy the latest, greatest, HDTV displays without all the consumer grade garbage?
Obviously, for less money would be even more thrilling.
Thanks for your ideas.
