At this point, I believe, you have two options.\n\nhttp://www.screentekinc.com or eBay. I'm afraid it will cost you between 180-300$. It's the price you have to pay.\n\nBefore you shop; however, I would get your gf's resolution. You can do this by: Right-click on the desk top>click properties>click settings.

Movies, Media, Marketing...These are all reasons that they are going to the widescreen format with personal laptops.  IE since the big flood of HDTV and HD plasma's and so on...\n\nI would'nt stress to hard just yet, Full screen is not dead (YET).  There are plenty of sites to get a good 'ol full screen laptop.\n\nHave a great day.

1. the wall mounts are available, to support up to 80 pounds, or more, by model, at Wal mart, on the Internet, at http://pricewatch.com or http://geeks.com  or http://newegg.com and all the computer and office store chains.\n\n2.  BE VERY CAUTIOUS about just plugging in any TV to the computer DVI or VGA!!!!!!  The signals are DIFFERENT!!!! even though the plugs might mate up!!!!  Read it all in a search on google.com about 'computer TV'  'TV computer' 'Computer DVI'\netc.  There are conversion boxes for sale!\n\n3. Yes, Sceptre makes a VGA LCD monitor that is also a cable TV, S-video, and Composite video unit.  I own one,  and it is FANTASTIC!!!   I have cable TV, two surveillance cams, and my computer on it!!!  \n\nI am sure others do also, just make sure you do the research, before you buy!!!  Plugging a computer into a TV can blow up either one, or even, both!!!  And, I run http://pclinuxos.com for the huge amount of control I have over all the technical parts!!!

Mine is 1280x1024 too. I would use this as your standard as many PC bundles these days come with a 17" monitor and this is the best resolution for those.

See Below for a link to HD-Out cards.\n\nThe video card won't matter for TV watching but it will matter for DVD playback.  Even if you aren't going to game, some low end video cards result in choppy playback.  It depends on how much you want to spend but I like the GeForce 6600 or 6600GT with 128MB of memory.  If you go for the ATi camp then a Radeon 9600XT should be fine.  I know for a fact these provide smooth play back.  Though it depends on what type of connection you were going to use.  Most video cards have S-Video out but it depends on what you were planning to use.\n\nIt also depends on if you are going to use PCIe (PCI Express) or an AGP slot for the card.\n\nI would (depending on the type of connection you want to use) buy a seperate video card and get a PCI TV tuner card, if you have a spare PCI slot.\n\nFor HD-Out cards, see this page but stick to the guidlines above for the GPU, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?submit=PROPERTY&SubCategory=48&propertycodevalue=2328:14100&bop=and&order=PRICE\nMaybe you missed it, the above link will take you to a bunch of cards that have HD-Out.

find out what your monitor's native resolution is.  right-click on your desktop, select Properties, then click your Settings tab.  under Screen Resolution, drag the bar all the way to the right and see the highest possible resolution.  if you can get 1280 x 720 or higher, then your monitor will be in the league of a 720i HD TV.  keep in mind that HD TVs are all widescreen, so the aspect ratio will be different.  you might find that your highest setting is 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 1024.  i suppose either one of those would be considered Hi-Def without the widescreen part.

Please also check characteristics of both monitors like no. of pixels, resolution, refresh rate etc.\n\nI think its your choice to go for 17" or 19", but if u want to work with graphics/ multimedia, i would suggest you go with 19".

most HDTVs have a plug for PC input, but even though they are larger they are not as high resolution in pixels as some PC LCD monitors.

I think, and I'm not absolutely sure, an HD TV monitor can also be hooked up and used as a computer monitor. An HD Ready TV is one that is like a regular TV but is able to be hooked up to HD cable service. I'm not 100% sure about the last one, but I do knwo that the monitors can be used as both a TV and a computer monitor.

It's not recommended to do that, because the resolution of a TV screen is much lower than that of a PC monitor.  Your eyes will go bad pretty quickly.\n\nHowever, if you're wanting to do that, visit Circuit City or Best Buy.  There are a number of small, inexpensive (under $50) gadgets that will do this for you.

Ok I recommend you buying this device.\nWith this device you can connect cable to your monitor,or even VHS or DVD to your monitor.\nWithout needing to connect it to your PC as you said you wanted.\n\nHere are some links. The Nextvision4 in my opinion is more than enough. \n\nhttp://www.viewsonic.com/products/tventertainment/tvvideoprocessors/nextvisionn4/\n\nhttp://www.viewsonic.com/products/tventertainment/tvvideoprocessors/nextvisionn5/\n\nhttp://www.viewsonic.com/products/tventertainment/tvvideoprocessors/nextvisionn6/

Is it a CRT (huge, big box monitor)?\nIf it is, it seems that its going to die soon. The Flyback transformer may neet replacement. Go get an LCD already :D
