1) I changed the subject line to match the discussion. I think that's a good policy to follow.
+1.
Therefore: If VCF Inc is going to gather these monitors cheaply, now is the time to do that. To do that in a consistent way, means determining some criteria - size of screen is first, perhaps other features are important, maybe even brands/models desired or to be avoided. And: if exhibitors are to be supported, others (those exhibitors in particular) may wish to make contributions of LCD monitors or $$$ accordingly.
The monitors are a Brace and Roganti ("Braganti"?) thing -- not a VCFed thing.
Bottom line: there's no point in moving and operating dozens of large, heavy CRT monitors at exhibits and events, when a stock of small LCD TV's can be acquired now - used, cheap - and put to use locally. They won't be available used for much longer, a selection can still be made not but not later - if so desired. Support can be asked, of those who benefit - exhibitors and their audience. That's my point.
I agree for exhibits such as theirs, which need a large amount of screens, but I would be disappointed if ordinary VCF exhibitors start using LCDs instead of the correct monitors.
