LCD Computer Monitor - a computer monitor that has good picture resolution because it uses LCD technology.

17" Wide Screen LCD Computer Monitor -a specific type of computer monitor that has good picture resolution and shows wide screen DVD's

Sony 17" Wide Screen LCD Computer Monitor - the Sony brand of a specific type of computer monitor that has good picture resolution and shows wide screen DVD's.
Hi BizNiz - Ed spoke on the podcast about not looking at Products - rather at Niches.

So you might sell (we wont - as we are going to be offering downloadable products - not pyshical) a Sony 17" Wide Screen LCD Computer Monitor to people in a niche for (I'm making this up :P)...Second Life Hobbyists

So in this contest the niche is the interest or the hobby - what someone is passionate about doing.

A TV or other products may be a tool they use, or something they want to increase the experience they have in that niche. You don't want to even begin to think about products - they are 4th on the list in order and in importance.

I hope this helps.
