I've been looking at LCDs for a while and concerned about little fingers pushing hard on the LCD panel and enjoying the squishy liquid effect. I speak from experience as my little one has just left a permanent finger dent in my work Dell laptop where the colours are lighter and a little distorted. So, as I'm thinking of spending up to 3K on a panel I want to ensure that it's tough enough. Not CRT-tough of course, but tough enough. And I don't want a plasma (which of course are all hard fronted).
I looked at the last generation of LCDs and there was only one panel that had a hard front (from memory possibly the Philips 9975, but I'm not sure). However, all others then and since have had been the regular squishy panels. The only exception was the Loewe Spheros LCD which had a glass front, but is very expensive in its 37" guise. Does anyone know any brands that do hard-fronted LCD panels at the high end of their range? I'm prepared for the trade-off in reflections etc.
