We've got 40" and a 32" Sony LCDs, I like them. They use less power than
plasma which is a bonus for me.

The 40 is an older generation and the 32 is current. The 32 has USB and
things but I've not tried it out, just hooked it up to the PC and was
done with it.

One of the most important features to me was DPMS to turn the monitor
off when the PC went into standby. Until a while back when I got some of
those fancy power boards which cut power to all the other plugs when I
suspend the PC.

The 32 replaced a Panasonic which I never really liked, didn't do DPMS,
average sound, and got itself into a funny state a few times where it
needed to be powered off at the wall.

A friend has a Samsung which they seem happy with, it has USB and can
play all sorts of things including 720p MKV files which I though was
neat.
