    Hrm. My 42" HD and the laptop I have hooked up to it cost a grand total of about $700. Throw in the XBox 360 that's also hooked up to it for total of $1000. What do I get for the additional $699, a selection of colors?
  • Does your laptop have four gigs of RAM, a 3-gigahertz dual-core processor and a one-terabyte hard drive? Seems like you're getting a lot of horsepower on top of that 27-inch screen.
