I see good deals like this often. Any reason hardware/technology/performance wise to not use this as a computer monitor primary and secondary as a second tv?

How can anyone use anything above 22" for various usage on a computer. I know i couldn't.

How often are you staring at that screen closely? Collateral damage!

I moved from a 22" to 26" Samsung a couple years back and I could never return to a smaller size... ever. Its easy on the eyes, no problem whatsoever. I'm looking to move up to a 30" Dell for my next upgrade.

I paid $250.oo for my 27" Samsung monitor which is made for gaming. They've spend years developing internal circuitry with low latency and combined with a 1ms response time it makes this puppy as fast as CRT for all practical purposes. If I ever want to watch TV on my computer I'll just buy a cheap pci card.

my 23inch feels pretty darn small to me. that's partially because its 16:9 and is not very tall.

Best upgrade I did last year was going from a 22" Samsung Syncmaster monitor to a 32" Insignia 1080P TV ( monitor ) The colors are so much brighter. I hooked up my old 22" to my second PC which also had an ATI card and compared the picture side by side. It was amazing how much better a TV is than the monitor.

When I got my kids LG 1080p 32" TV I did some testing vs my 24" Samsung Monitor.

At the end of the day, Monitor is MUCH better. Smaller pixles, better quality and just more vibrant.

Not to say that 32" TV wasn't good, it was HUGE (perhaps too big) but side by side monitor blew it away.

Same goes for my 40" Samsung TV, even compare to my 25" INC monitor, TV is just weak.

Because all LCD's are TFT....

he asked if it was TN or IPS and you said TFT. TN and IPS are both TFT.

sorry but that makes no sense. the answer you gave to his question was wrong because they are both TFT. so what are you giving me the troll face for?

MY comment of LCD TFT was a troll comment NOT yours, that's why there is the trollface to let you know i was trolling with my post. It really had nothing to do with you.
