Sorry if this question was posted already.
I'm thinking of purchasing a LCD TV (not a monitor) to use with my PC.
I have an Nvidia 9600GSO PCI-E card.
How will the results be? Will they be the same as using an LCD monitor?
I'm only looking to go with a 22 inch.
THANKS!


ASUS P5Qmb
Intel Core2 Quad Q6700
4 gig ram
Windows 7 64bit
XFX Nvidia 9600GSO
 
if you vidcard has a HDMI just hook it up to the pc that way
or if your TV had a DVI...

the only thing you need to know if the resolution the tv will have. (720p?)
 
An lcd tv that small will be pretty low-res, no? From what I've seen only the very low-end manufacturers even make something that small, I'd expect quality to be poor, maybe even a TN panel. I'd also have my doubts about such a TV having a good PC mode that disables all filtering/overscan/edge enhancement.

In short, I'm thinking it will probably be worse than a 22" monitor. And this is coming from someone who happily uses an HDTV as a monitor. If you need tv capability in a PC display that size, I think a cheap tv tuner card + a real monitor would be better.
