Another option might be Plasma screens (like the new large, digital televisions), if they can take a PC output, or output from a TV card in the PC (haven't tried it personally!) However, a birdie told me that such Plasma screens have a finite life of 5 years maximum and at £5000 a throw that ain't cheap! Can anyone confirm/deny that?

Bear in mind that the customer might want some degree of privacy: if the screen's very big then there's the risk that people lurking about in the background could read personal details such as addresses or credit card details.
