Guys...I need some advice in getting a new monitor.

1) Which one should I take? A LCD monitor? Or a LCD TV use as monitor?

2) What are the pros and cons of these two?

Note: Previous monitor burned suspected due to overheat. (My room no air-cond and I turn On monitor for a long period eg. more than 8hours). Heard that LCD Tv is more durable for my condition. (Dunno how true)

Thanks... notworthy.gif

LCD Monitor is best for desktop usage..
U may use LCD TV for HTPC purpose or movie viewing only.. For long hour surfing, gaming and office works, still need proper designed LCD monitor..

lcd TV got the TV tuner and connection which u dont need for desktop use. Furthermore, the image will look pixelated because the size is big but the reslution is less.

For desktop, use LCD monitor. LCD monitor is more suitable for internet and daily usage. For normal 32" with HD ready, the resolution only 1360 X 768, smaller than 17" lcd monitor.  The text is readable but not nice. Although with large screen, your desktop space is smaller. But if you more money, I believe there are 22" inch lcd tv model out there. The price... well as expected very expensive.

Indeed...LCD monitor is more suitable for desktop...but for a long hour of gaming and surfing, i'm just afraid of overheating and burned off... sweat.gif
That what makes me to consider LCD TV which i think more durable..but as you guys mentioned, the resolution is low and I dont like that neither..

So, after considering your opinion....the choice is LCD monitor icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks a lot guys.. notworthy.gif
