HP LD 4200

[Anomlay]

Well, I tried about 4 different TVs from Samsung, Sony, LG...

32-37"...

LED, LCD, Plasma...

While gaming on them from a PC was great, the font and text while web browsing never looked good at native resolution, 1920x1080...

I redid aspect ratios, used GAME setting, used JUST setting but text just never looked right...

So I venture to CompUsa this weekend and in the back corner I see two HP LD4200, one opened one not. I asked if we could test it on a PC that would do 1920x1080; right out of the box the text looked GREAT. No aspect tweaking required...

Is is it a TV, is it a Monitor? I say monitor (it has no tuner and required no tweaking for good text while web browsing)...

I played Deadspace 2 and Borderlands for about 5 hours yesterday, every option as high as you could set it...no ghosting, no mouse lag.

If you are looking for a large MONITOR to game on, give this one a try!

Absolutely. People should be looking at digital signage displays if they are serious about finding a large format monitor. The price and feature set difference relative to a TV is of course a deterrent.

Did I mention I got it on sale for $735?

I think I'm going to get one of these in a few months.

Isn't that size too big for being a monitor? At desk distance, this would be too big? what I'm I misssing if it's not a tv.

If you think about it, how is it REALLY any bigger than 3-24" monitors in an eyefinity set up...in fact it takes up LESS horizontal space...

The fact that it is NOT a TV and has no tuner (full of signal instructions) is why I believe (in my non-expert opinion) why the text looks so good when web browsing...
