Hey everyone,
I'm work from home using the computer all day long (IT consultant), I generally use my laptop and ridiculously I use the laptop screen which is obviously absurd! I need to buy a proper sized monitor (24" - 26") but as my office is also my second bedroom I would ideally like to get a monitor/TV combo so it can be used by guests when they're staying. By far the most important thing is the monitor usage though so quality shouldn't be lost on this for the sake of the TV. I obviously want Full HD and HDMI if poss and want to spend around £250.
I don't ever play games on the PC I use it purely for programming, editing images in photoshop and other everyday tasks. As a result I would really appreciate any advice anyone can give, I have a few queries:
1) Am I right in saying that LED TVs are generally better than standard LCDs in terms of the quality of the display (other than just how thin it is)?
2) Is there any general reason why TV/Monitor combos will be any worse than straight monitors (other than being a bit more expensive due to the additional TV functionality)?
3) I was looking at this one: http://www.ebuyer.com/279552-lg-m2780d-27in-lcd-tv-monitor-full-hd-gloss-black-m2780d-pz, what do you think?
Thanks very much guys!
Dave
