John,
Thanks for the feedback.  Have you found any problems connecting the display 
to the JAC or to the PC?  Do you have any experience with the 5 inch LED 
display?  The budget is a bit tight this year and buying a display priced 
under a grand, that really works, would fit the club's pocketbook.
