   I've seen it demonstrated and I think it's a waste of money. It's expensive
and you need to buy a whole bunch of multimedia stuff on top of that. The      
refresh rate isn't particularly good. The demo only ran a few seconds at a     
time and I suspect it's because you'd get a headache if you watch for too long.
Why not move the computer/tv closer to each other, or buy a sony Watchman :-)
