TOSHIBA 32" 1080p LCD as monitor

[Alamat]

Newegg has it for $409.99 shipped. Will be replacing a Dell 20.5" monitor. Hooking it up to the PC via HDMI, and I'll also be able to game on it with the 360 and PS3. Any thoughts?

It should be pretty good. It should be fine. Just make sure that you are sitting far enough from TV.

If you're getting a 32" for a monitor, this is actually the TV you want.

I have a question guys... why are PC monitors so much more expensive than LCD TV's?

Besides being $50 more, how does the Panny differ from the Toshiba?

The Panny uses an IPS panel, while the Toshiba uses a MVA.

Higher pixel density, I'd imagine. 30" LCD computer monitors are 2560 x 1600, whereas your 32" LCD TV is only 1920x1080. That makes a big difference when you're sitting close enough to the screen!

OK..went ahead and ordered the Panny. FYI, am using a 40" Tosh LCD just to see if the text would be blurry or funky...which they r not.
Thanks for input guys!
