I need a HDTV for:
1st main use would be as a PC monitor
2nd use to watch DVD's
3rd for watching tv/hdtv
I been looking for 3 months now and really wanted to get one before xmas. But do to stupid salesmen, marketing hype, and mainly the hit and miss people are getting using HDTV's with PC's. My old 32" sharp looks great @1024x768 using s-video from my radeon 9700 and I can easly read the text. I understand many HDTV's can't even do 1280x1024 from a PC. Worst of all when you look at the spec's they all say they will run 1080i but the res is only 1280x768. Yea sure I can look at a 6 megapixel picture on old TV too, but I sure ain't seeing 5 m/p on screen.
My budget is $1500 or less, and it must be 16:9. Size don't matter as my living room is small. But it must do at least 1920x1080 as a PC monitor and have dvi input. Am I dreaming or does this beast exist for less than a small fortune ?
Is anybody getting 1920x1080 from their PC/HDTV at any price ?
