I'm looking for a flat panel monitor in the 30 to 37 inch range to be my primary monitor/tv. I often watch tv on my 19inch lcd from 15 feet away and I'm getting sick of it. I play some games, nothing too intensive (UT2K4, Farcry, Civ4, HL2/CS:S) and currently run the system in my sig. The 9800 Pro has DVI out so I assume this will work with the DVI port on a typical lcd tv (or is it a different standard?).
Anyway, I'm willing to spend up to 1500 on this and I'm looking fro experience and reviews. I watch dvd's, watch tv, surf/type, and game on my pc. I don't need the best-of-the-best as far as fidelity is concerned but I want the monitor to look good doing normal pc stuff, not just watching movies/gaming (ie some of these tv's look crappy on the desktop, does this have to do with res?).
I have never delved into hdtv stuff so the resolutions on these devices are a bit confusing. Will I have a problem running 1366x768 on a pc? Is it worth it to get one with 1920x1080? Any opinions would be helpful here. Also, is this a good time to buy this sort of thing? Is there technology around the corner that will render todays stuff obsolete? What about this windows vista crap that requires a special monitor...
TIA
BTW, I realize someone had a thread on this stuff recently (someone posted a link to a sceptre 37inch I liked) but I couldn't find it.
