Agreed. The DL monitors are great.
I once had a semi hilarious incident regarding DL monitors. Having stupidly fallen asleep at the gate in ATL I stood by for the next flight to LGA. At the DL Service Center, the monitors showed I was 3rd in the list, so I felt pretty good about my chances of making it.
By the time I made it to the gate I had dropped to 17th (DL's elite were superseding me!). By the time boarding began I was 45th.
About three or four standbys made it...
Hey, at least I knew where I stood and did not need to keep bugging the GA.
