This seems like, price-wise, it's a very good deal for what it's capable of. I'm going to college soon, and I'm looking for something that can work well as a TV, as a computer monitor, and as something that will play game consoles (Essentially a TV task again). On top of that, I want a relatively good sized monitor. This one seems to offer all of that, but some of the complaints have me concerned. They say that one of the problems is that it stretches the screen for TV. Is there anyway to fix this? Does it do this for games, also? I don't see how that would be a minor thing if it stretches everything. Another thing is that it says the quality of the output when it's a computer screen is supposed to be poor. Is this because of the resolution? It says 1024x768 is the maximum, but I run at this already with a 19" CRT, so I don't imagine it would be much different, if at all.
Basically, I'm wondering if this will be able to do what I ask (and the stretching thing is one of my big concerns), or if I should just cut my losses and keep looking. If I have to search elsewhere, does anyone have a recommendation for something similar?
