LG Has the World's Largest LCD Monitor - Softpedia: "LG Electronics introduced the world's largest LCD monitor, with a 55 inch diagonal. M5500C is a widescreen LCD monitor with a 1920 X 1080 pixels native resolution that through progressive scan gives true 1080P.
LG's new M5500C comes with a 3138 USD price tag.

1080p is the short name for a category of video modes. The number 1080 stands for 1080 lines of vertical resolution, while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. 1080p is considered to be an HDTV video mode.

The company claims that M5500C is the largest LCD in mass production and that the new monitor can be used in various environments. It has both DVI and VGA connectors, so that M5500C can be used for watching movies or delivering presentation or just as a PC monitor. Moreover, LG's new monitor features HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a technology that allows M5500C to be compatible with the actual operating systems and also with expected ones like Microsoft's Windows Vista. Also, M5500C can display from HDTV sources."
