my only concern is that if you use it as a pc moniter the resolution isn't very high. I thought of using my 32 in tv as a replacement moniter, and its just ugly for pc games. I went back to my 12 inch pc moniter beause it has a higher resolution and when you sit close you really notice. Unless it goes above 1080 p for computers. Other than that it sounds like a good deal. |
1080 p is not good for pcs?
Isn't that 1900x1080? Sounds pretty high to me.
I can't remember now what my pc resolution is.

Just my experience that tv displays don't render pc images well. If you have access to an hdtv try it out. Its not a big deal for games, but if you plan on using it as a pc oniter its hard for reading text and seeing detail. My pc screen is set to 1280x1024 which i think falls below "HD" but actually has more pixel density. Its mainly an issue with text for me. I have my pc hooked up to my projector also so i play my pc games at 100 inches at 1080p, but the picture on my little pc screen still looks better. It may just be my preference.

this list the pc resolutions. Ithink the list you have posted is not neccesarily in order of highest pixel density. 1280x1024 falls higher than tv hd resolutions.
