Interestingly, I have two 42 inch monitors already up on the walls.. but 
I wanted to avoid getting them too cluttered with other displays.


Also, the TV draws many watts compared to some small LED display.

Oh.. it's trivial to throw up a time display in a window on the big 
display..  We've even got a cool little java ap that does Mars time so 
you can tell if your co-worker who's doing MSL ops is likely to be in 
their office, or asleep at home.  For this application we are totally 
earth based, though.

Actually, most high quality wall clocks don't do things like DOY. But I 
know they exist, which is what I'm looking for..
