Hi, foo,

I'm looking for a new monitor to back my electric whiteboard.

What's an electric whiteboard?

I've been using a plasma monitor (40" TV) up until now as it
has a hard front surface that can stand up to being "written on"
(with an invisible ink marker pen).

Invisible ink pen?

I suspect the plasma's front screen is a (necessary) consequence
of the technology.  And, not essential for LCD.

Are there any offerings where this might NOT be the case?

My Sony OLED TV feels pretty solid. And has phenomenal color and
contrast. But I wouldn't use it as a whiteboard.

Interestingly, the sound comes out of the screen.
