Asimo 1 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Nice...Congrats man. I'm looking at getting a new LCD tv as well. One question, when you are using it as a computer monitor, what is the highest resolution you can go? I've tried this before with some lower quality LCD tv's and the highest they'll go is like 800x600 (or next one up). Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Congrats GeneralGee - I'm interested in seeing your setup as I just bought a 46" Sharp Aquos last weekend but it's setup in the family room. One question, when you are using it as a computer monitor, what is the highest resolution you can go? I've tried this before with some lower quality LCD tv's and the highest they'll go is like 800x600 (or next one up).If you buy a Full HD set, the native resolution is 1080p which gives you 1920x1080 res.

I find it easier to stare at a 27" monitor than a 42" or 50".I mean, unless you are halfway across the room you're going to be sitting in front of something as big as you that's 2 feet away.

It doesn't take long for that huge screen to look just as small as the one you upgraded from ... not really, but the "hugeness" doesn't last long. Link to post Share on other sites

milojones 0 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 seems the thread is kind of dead but i just got home from work. I was looking at this same tv at the store the other day. my 40" akai LCD cost me about $3000 4 years ago. its a great tv considering its EDTV as opposed to HD. the max resolution i get when hooked up to the computer is 720X480 but the text in poker tables is unreadable.. have to run one large table over the whole screen at 800x600 to see it from the couch across the room. my question is.. would i have to spend big money to get a tv that would look good from across the room with 2-3 tables running or would one like this be suitable?

This is the cheapest 1080p set (1920x1080) I could find:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/se...RCCODE=WEBGPROD Link to post Share on other sites

That is about the same price I paid for a 720p of the same size and brand last christmas. I am not upset about it, just suprised they dropped in price so quickly. They were about 1800 last december. I love my Samsung BTW. Link to post Share on other sites
