monitor, TV, or projector? Can't Post
My office has hugh windows that face the street. We currently show a continuous slideshow of our products using "my pictures" via S video cable to a 27" TV. We would like to expand this, to make it more visible from the street. I'm talking about 60" wide by 4' tall. Most big screen TVs are out of my budget, some have suggested some sort of projector, or remote monitor screen that is fed from my PC. I don't need audio, just want to show BIG PICS.
Any help would be appreciated.

A projector seems like the way to go. But it depends a lot on how bright your room is. With a large window like you describe one would need a very high lumens projector to get the optimal image. A plasma would work better as far as brightness but would cost a lot more.

Most projectors will give a very washed out image in daylight...either the front projectors or the rear projection cabinets. A plasma screen is your best bet at present. There are some big CRT sets available which are more affordable, but not as big as you want.
