Dell announces 37-inch LCD TV
Dell sure is making a good run to make the crossover from computer maker giant to electronics monster. They just announced that they are going to have a 37-inch LCD ready for Christmas, plus remember that 50-inch plasma from a few weeks ago? It is also going to be ready for this holiday season.
I have never been that impressed with Dell plasmas. They just do not 'pop' like a nice Panasonic or Samsung does. Dell does bundle them with some nice things though. They all come with a horde of cables like component, s video, and composite. Plus, they have detachable speakers and everyone loves detachable speakers. Overall, they are not a bad priced set and I have not seen ether the new 37-inch LCD nor the 50-inch plasma, so lets hope they have improved.

Would you think it would make a good computer monitor in a bedroom too?

There are some pretty good alternatives in the 37" LCD market that cost a good deal less than the Dell (Westinghouse, Samsung, & BenQ spring to mind and I think you can get a Sharp 37" for the same price).
Also, I hope that Dell is planning on driving the price (for the LCD as well as the 50" plasma) down pretty soon. Their main difference when they decided to do TVs was cost difference since they just rebadged someone else's panels (LG's in this case, I think). Besides, their last iteration of TVs (42" plasmas) developed some pretty annoying problems that are detailed heavily over at AVS forum (flicker, loud buzzing) so hopefully, all those kinks are worked out.
