Hello all;

I am looking for a High End LCD display that will allow me to do the following;

- Play games like, HALO (XBOX) Must have Component-IN (Fast response)
- Play games like Half-Life 2, Far Cry, Doom 3, Must have DVI-IN, 12-16ms response
- Watch DVD's with perfect resolution (min. 480p) either pulldown/built in doubler, what have you
- Watch OTA HD channels (Built in tuner?) CableCard, etc...not necessary though...

The closest I could find is the Sharp LC-26GD6U
No Component, but, I believe I could get some sort of adapter for the XBOX, worst case, I'll even go SVID, but, rather not.

Does anyone have any idea which monitors cover all the bases...GAMES (PC / XBOX), HD, XBOX, etc...

I have a GeforceFX 5700 Ultra DVI out
Thanks,
Brian

I'm not sure what resolution or price you're aiming for, but the HP f2304 certainly satisfies all of you requirements (except for an integrated ATSC tuner). It can actually resolve up to 1080i in addition to 720p and 420p (vs. the Sharp and many other HD LCD's with resolutions < 1920x1080). The only drawbacks are the video quality, the lack of a remote, and the lack of 3:2 pulldown. If you don't care about the LCD being able to fully resolve 1080i, then the Sharp or any Sony or Samsung LCD >= 23" would be nice as well.

Thank you. I actually looked at that monitor, but, it didn't get great reviews in the area of "video quality", as you stated. I was told to just get the HP L2335 if you want this LCD, as it is virtualy identical and approx $600.00 cheaper..still no remote.
