Monitor Options

Over the course of the next few weeks, the decision on a flat screen will need to be made.  My original thought was to have two (dueling) flat panel screens, each of about 20".  As I thought further, I'm thinking that might be too small.  Perhaps one 27" screen?  The price would be about the same, regardless of the decision. 

Two of these...

Or, one of these.

In order to provide those monitors with a superb HD signal, we'll need to get one of these. 

But, again, if we choose to wait on such accessories for next year, I am not opposed.

GREAT IDEA... but you might want to research the additional power it's going to require for the bad boy. Those flat panels will drain the battery REAL QUICK.

Agreed. The plan is to also pick up a generator for use during tailgating. Though, that doesn't cover the use of the television while SW is in motion. I was thinking we could use a UPS (uninterrupted power supply).

This might be useful because it will make sure there are no spikes in the power supplied to the screen while on the generator, and as you will see, up to another 35 minutes of power when not connected.

I would like to correct a comment about the story of me designing the Bear logo on the side of the bus in 1932, I cannot take credit for this, though I was there when the artist designed it. I was a young man of 22, I remember it clearly, it was the day I spilled a gallon of red paint in the bed of my new model A pick up truck. I know this is not a flattering picture of me because I fell asleep many times in this position, Dominic had to knock me in the head a number of times so I can finish the bear.
