i m usin the asus pg221 for both my wii n ps3 n i m veli veli satisfied wit it

dun think there ll be much diff in image quality. mainly depends on how near u are 2 the screen and the size of the screen. so if at proper viewing distance, both lcd tvs n lcd monitors should be veli similar in image quality. but like i said proper viewing distance 4 the size of the screen u re using

yes altec lansing speakers are 2.1. 2.1 basically means 2 speakers n 1 woofer and the guide says 2.1 speaker bcos its the cheapest n most convenient solution unless u haf a home theater set wit an optical input amplifier/ receiver n all.
