Sharp's IT-23M1U LCD monitor/TV

Sharp IT-23M1U

It's definitely not as sleek as anything you'd find in their AQUOS line of TVs, which is why Sharp is pitching the IT-23M1U, their latest 23-inch widescreen LCD, as more of a computer monitor that pulls double duty as an HDTV-ready television, rather than something you'll want as the centerpiece of your living room. They manage to omit all mention of the screen's resolution in the press release (a little digging reveals that it's 1366 x 768), but they do list the IT-23M1U as having a 550:1 contrast ratio, a pixel response time of 16ms, and a brightness of 500 nits.
