I think consumers could use computer lcd's . I know of some from dell, viewsonic and samsung that have resolution of 1920x1200 and cost about a 1500$ but you know it will come down . These monitors can be used effectively for 1080p videos and games until big screen lcd, sed or plasma tv's come down in price.
