| 794896 | 2009-07-24 09:04:00 | Hi, Could anyone please explain to me the pros and cons of buying a computer monitor, vs just a normal LCD TV that can also be used for the computer? Why do more people not just buy a normal LCD TV and use that as their computer monitor? Is it because of the display resolutions, or screen refresh rates, or..?? |

They're also much more expensive, even though it has a lower resolution. TV Monitors usually offer HDMI, RCA and COmponent, while PC Monitors usually have DVI/HDMI, VGA. Blam |

| 794898 | 2009-07-24 09:33:00 | PC monitors are generally cheaper than a comparable TV alternative, for example this (www.ascent.co.nz) (Or this (www.ascent.co.nz) (with HDMI and speakers) monitor is capable of displaying 1080P (aka Full HD) video with a good refresh rate and contrast ratio for a fraction of the price of a comparable TV (example (www.dse.co.nz)). Also, many people can't fit (or would struggle fitting) a 32" TV on their desk. However, in saying that, a TV is generally larger than a monitor, and therefore easier to watch TV/DVD's on from a normal couch distance. |
