After reading a few threads here, I was surprised to find out that it appears an HDTV is quite capable of running PC games at up to 1920x1080, as long as it's a 1080p TV.
I did read the thread asking what's the best 30'' monitor to get, and saw some comparisons there between TVs and monitors around that size, but was left with the impression a TV would be a better choice for me. As right now, gaming would be the main use for the monitor (perhaps even some TV use as my current TV is from like the 90's!). I've never used anything beyond 1920x1200 anyways (so I'd only be reducing my resolution by a tiny bit). Most of all, the price on the 30'' monitors is way too much for me.
However, I know really nothing about HDTVs since I've never even owned one. I'd love to know what I should look for, and what to avoid. Also if anyone has had experience with any, good or bad, so that I'll know to steer clear, or perhaps also go the same way.
I assume I'll end up getting something between 32 & 37 inches.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can share!
