37 inch Olevia resolution question

[corup7ion]

Hello, i want to purchase a 32 or 37 inch Olevia, mainly to use as a computer monitor, but also for Comcast and playstation.

It says that its recommended 1366x768 Resolution.. and that it is the max resolution, but isnt this stretched out? Can you actually change the resolution? Or no?

Im not very good with monitors and resolutions, but with a bigger LCD like this, dont you want something more like 2600x1600 or something? can this LCD do this? I'm big on playing video games like WoW.

If this TV just isnt good to be a monitor, please tell me.

I think that 1366x76 is those tv's maximum resolution, and while it will work for a computer screen, it won't look great, as it is a different scale ratio compared to a computer.
Everything will look kind of stretched out on one of those screens, as they are optimized for widescreen movies.

A 1080 TV will give you a resolution that is better compatable with a computer.

The resolution you are looking for is 1920x1200. Any 1080(i or p) tv should support that resolution.

If you go into a store, tell them you are looking for a TV that has 1080, and they should be able to find you something.

Here is a 37" tv with 1080 for $800

Hope that helped.

Good Luck!
