Couldn't quite justify the cost of a 50" but I do have a nice 42" plasma in the living room. I play my Xbox 360 on my Dell 2007FPW though for 4 reasons:I think it's all about work with what you have. Like FLECOM said, not everyone can afford a 50" plasma.![]()
plus monitors look better than TV's...
even a 1080p dosent come close to match my IBM LCD's 2048x1536 resolution![]()
I guess you care about look more than performance and we're talking about gaming on a TV and monitor.
My main reason is space, second is cost..... I like the idea of the ps3 next to my computer and switch between the 2....
Still looking for a decent monitor though. Narrowed it down to the Gateway 2275 or the LG226wt...2275 has 1:1 pixel mapping...226wt has a higher contrast ratio and prolly better image quailty. Trying to stay around 400.00 or so. I have 300.00 in BB gift cards so I am kinda stuck going there for a new monitor.
I cant go much bigger, my computer couldnt handle it..(x2 4400 x800xl vid card 2gig ram)
You seemed to miss the point about being in college and having to move around. Finding a place to put a 200+ lbs monster CRT, much less having to move it on a semi-annual basis is completely ludicris.I'm sure you can afford a nice 32" or above HD CRT tv to play games with, if not save up. That's just my opinion, I just think it's a waste to play on a computer monitor, to me, it's like people who buys 5.1 speakers and doesn't utilize the benefits of it, which I see a lot on here.
My bad but I don't mean small monitor, I know I stated that on my first post, what I mean is that why play on a low quality LCD monitor? It might be good for computer use but for console? Dont you think that would degrade the quality? If you can afford all those equipments (Dell 2407, 3007 and Benq 24"), I'm sure you can afford a nice 32" or above HD CRT tv to play games with, if not save up. That's just my opinion, I just think it's a waste to play on a computer monitor, to me, it's like people who buys 5.1 speakers and doesn't utilize the benefits of it, which I see a lot on here.
You're not making any sense. 24"+ LCD monitors are capable of 1080P and more.
This is not the same for TV. Currently there are no 1080P TVs at 32". You will have to go to at least 37" to get 1080P and even then the quality will vary depending on brand, etc.
You do realize most low budget LCD TVs are only 720P resolution right? Even some high end 40"+ models are only 720P.
The only thing going for LCD TVs are size and this means you have to sit far away.
You do realize that the only difference between a LCD monitor and an LCD TV is an RF tuner, right?
I understand some of you guys live in a dorm and I understand but it's not like you move every year. Some of you claimed that you can't afford a TV for gaming, well, if you bought a ps3, 24" monitor, and a nice rig, I don't see why you can't save up and do the same if you're into game that much.
Ok, so I don't know anything about 1080p and I apologize for stating incorrect info.
Well this is the end for me, I just don't get why you guys spent a chunk load of money on a console and lack on the next most or most important which is the display.
Actually LCD TV's have much lower resolution than LCD monitors at the same size.
Actually, I had to move almost every semister. I didn't know of any college that allowed students to reside in a dorm room 12 month out of the year. Almost everyone had to move out of their current digs at the end of spring semister even if they were returning to that room in the fall.I understand some of you guys live in a dorm and I understand but it's not like you move every year.
That's not a defining trait. By definition a monitor is a video display device. By definition, a TV is a video monitor with an RF demod built in. Period. Resolution alone does not classify a display as a TV or a monitor. Your statement is only a current trend in the marketplace.

This guy has to be troll, looking for a reaction. He can't be serious? Can he? Can he really be so uneducated? Most people I know saved up for ages to buy the xbox360 and a few games. they play it on whatever they have at home. And computer monitors have much better displays then most TV's. The picture will be way better on a computer monitor, unless you have the money to buy a 1080p LCD TV.
And most of the people I know would love to play their console on something as big as a 24 inch monitor. They bought it for the games, anything else (like getting a huge TV) is a bonus, but for most not really required.
What an ignorant statement by this guy.
