OK, let’s see if we can’t keep things in proportion here. Sure, you want a wide screen. But should that mean you have to surrender your home’s very—well, hominess—to some vulgar, wall-wide interloping eyesore? Come on; you want to watch movies in the place where you live, not live in the place where you watch movies.

Enter Sova’s HD-ready widescreen LCD monitor. With its 16:9 aspect ratio, you’ll get the big picture without wasting any screen space—but at an unostentatious 37 inches, neither will you find yourself cowering behind the loveseat for fear you might tumble into Geraldo’s moustache. And yeah, it lacks an HD tuner and HDMI inputs but you can easily plug up your cable box, satellite receiver or hi-def Tivo using the HD capable component inputs.

Yeah, yeah: everybody likes a big screen, but let’s finally admit that there’s such a thing as TOO big. That Baby Bear was onto something: this LCD monitor is just right.
