does anyone know of any electronic places like circuit city that may carry lcd monitors for use with the xl1?

I think you might find one or two at a Radio Shack.
HOWEVER, be careful what you buy. Not all monitors are created equal, and in the case of really cheap ones, you get what you pay for!!!
If you are looking to buy one, than you are better off doing a search here on LCD monitors, as there have been several "which ones should I buy" threads. Then look into prices from the forum sponsors. They will offfer cheaper prices over pretty much any place like Circuit City or Best Buy.

i will do a search now. thanks
