That's a great price on a 26" LCD TV, but it has the resolution that a widescreen 15.4" laptop might have. When you buy a 22-24" LCD monitor you're paying for the higher resolution, not just size.

actually, thats standard 720p HDTV resolution, and realistically, a bit too low to use as a computer monitor in my opinion. most 15.4 laptops actually have a 1680x1050 display (AFAIK, mine does) and all the 22" LCD's also use a 1680x1050 resolution. It is a tough spot, but i would suggest saving for a 24" lcd if you need true 1080p.
