[tlug] mounting LCD displays



I'm hoping somebody can help me with a question I have about LCD displays.

I would like to mount some LCD displays within our office to display
some images/information that is going to be updated on a regular basis
(every 10-20 minutes, perhaps more frequently).

We would like something large, but also something not too expensive, I
was thinking something in the region of 21 - 24 inches and ideally
widescreen.

Does anyone have any recommendations on particular brands or models?
I've been looking around and am not really sure what I should be
looking for.

Another question I have is how should I go about driving these
displays. We will be installing 3 of them in 3 different locations.
The idea at the moment is to view the images over the web, and stick
Firefox in kiosk mode and have it refresh itself every 10 or 15
minutes. I'm wondering if I should stick a computer on each display or
is there any other way I can get the images on there? Another way that
has been mentioned is to stick a video card in a users machine in the
office and drive it from thee (although I'm not sure how I'd go about
setting it up so that only the browser session is spit out to the
screen...)

Anway, if anyone has any ideas or comments I'd appreciate them.

Cheers,

Conor
