I know this is OT for this forum but I posted it where it should be and there's no one home so would like your thoughts.
Edited to clarify because pasted message wrong place.....
Cliff Notes:
Employer is replacing my desktop and is letting me choose which, but I am forced to buy under the conditions below.
Help me decide please .... the LCD has to serve as a monitor primarily because I am using it at work, obviously, but I can take it home sometimes. And when they sell their surplus equipment a few years later, it is dirt cheap.
Which would you buy and and how well do you think it would serve as a monitor?
Thanks in advance, Bekker
Gave me task of finding one for under $2k
Limited to having to buy from IBM, Dell, HP/Compaq under inflated state contract orices
Cannot use coupons or rebates
Finally configed one at Dell that left enough for 18 or 19" FP monitor
Then found I could do the 17" LCD TV/ Monitor and stay in budget
Resolution is sxga 1200 by 768 or somesuch
Great Performance Dual function, wide screen TV and PC monitor with Picture-in-Picture capabilities (when connected to a PC)
