Howdy all <S>
Im looking to replace my computer monitor with something 22" to 24" and am a little stuck on what to do.
SHould i get a new monitor, or should i get a TV that i can use as a monitor. I dont need anything special, and it be residing on the corner of my office desk. My thoughts were TV, that way i get a little more bang for the buck, but dont have any experiance in hooking up a computer to a TV, but that is of little importance.
What do you think, opinions? TV or Monitor?
Also, any brands that anyone has had good luck with?
Thanks folks,
Mbailey

depends on how much you want to spend

I have been looking at monitor's too and wondered the same thing . Newegg has a ASUS 23 inch on sale this week but only has 5 reviews on it for $199.99 .

Just bought myself a Iliyama ProLite E2607WS 26' 16/10 and its pretty damn good for games and big enough to watch movies, the remanance is below 1ms and the color accuracy is very good. Belive me I've read a lot of stuff before choosing that one, depends what money you want to spend. The DELL and Apple screens are the best out there, if you're willing to pay 600euros+ :D I think the TVs are not made for fast moving graphics that require precision like aces high, but that's my opinion I didn't look at actual numbers.

note that this 26' is a 16/10, thus has a resolution of 1920*1200 (HD is 1920*1080)

Get a monitor, it can be used as a tv. On the other hand, computer games on a tv is soooo Atari 2600.

Well I have a Magnavox 26" HDTV and hook up isn't very hard, if your graphics card has an HDMI port you can run a HDMI cable to the back of.the TV. I will post pic when I can. The graphics are not atari-ish. So :neener:, LOL

THAT is overboard!
From what I understand, that's a 42" SONY Bravia. I'm pretty sure bigger is better .....
