KingOfHyrule Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Jesus it's been quite a while since I posted in here...anyway I'd like to ask about using an LCD HDTV as a PC monitor - for anyone using that setup, what's the quality like? Is it as sharp and defined as it would be using a dedicated TFT monitor? My TFT recently collapsed and no one seems to wants to attempt to repair it so I'm considering killing two birds with the one stone and going for a new 32" LCD HDTV with PC input to replace my current large RPHDTV while doubling up as a new PC monitor. Any thoughts or advice from the tech heads? Is it worth considering?
McPhee Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Depends which TVs you're talking about, but in general the answer is no. Most 32-inch LCD TVs use a resolution of around 1080x720. A 30-inch PC monitor (going from the Dell model) uses a resolution of 2560x1600 so theres a really massive difference in picture quality. Go the other way though and you can get a monitor that works really well as a TV. There are some models with built in TV tuners. scart sockets, component sockets etc.
Marshmellow Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 some LCD HDTV's have a real nice resolution... well at least the bigger ones... what kind of money are you willing to spend?
