Hi there

my really old crt just really went green and I am off to costco tomorrow to
get a new display for my pc. I would like to get an lcd tv that I can hook
up to the computer so I have the best of both worlds. Anything in the
20"-32" range is fine. Any thoughts on which one to buy? I'm not too worried
about manufacturer but the vizio's seem to be ok units?? Anyone that has a
pleasant experience please advise.

thanks


Well I had an unpleasant experience, kinda. Went into a megastore and looked at
a 32" hdtv 1366x768 (Sanyo or Sharp) that boasted a computer input. I stood a
meter in front of it and watched the movie that was playing on it. Not good.
Fine, in fact excellent picture from 3 or 4 meters away, but not close up. I
would not want to use that for computer work ... to get a monitor I think is a
safer bet. You can always watch movies on the computer and/or even add a tv
tuner card or use a vivo video card.

-P.
