My computer monitor got a littttleee thirsty last night and deicided to take a sip of some relaxing water..... ::sigh::

 

Now i'm looking for a television that I can mount on my wall. Something from 26"-32" would be sufficent.  I would like at least 720p.  Now what I really want is for it to be able show output from my computer (I have SLi connection with two nVidia 9800's), be able to switch to my television, switch to my dvd player, etc, etc..

 

The main thing I'm looking for is good output display from my computer.

 

Any suggestions would be HIGHLY appriciated!  thank you very much!

    Get a normal computer monitor, tv's aren't suited for stuff like gaming.

    Check out Samsung and Sharp for tv/comp monitors - both sell 1080 versions that are decent in the 26in to 32in range.   The biggest problem with trying to use a TV as a monitor is latency.   Most TV's refresh rates are not on par with a computer monitors refresh rate.

    I bought a 32" Insignia TV from Best Buy about half a year ago. It was about $400. I can't notice any difference between it and a normal computer screen, except it has a weird native resolution.

    Right, I'm playing on a 40" Proscan HDTV, its 1080p and works just as good as my old 22" monitor, and the max res I can get on it is 1600*1200, which is more than enough.  I paid $500 for it 4 months ago!
