Widescreen displays are the way to go; without a doubt. You see, widescreens make you see the big picture , especially when watching DVD movies. You'll see the movie just as the director intended. Widescreens are ratio 16:9  while the normal screens (letterbox format) are 4:3. \n\nWidescreens on computers give you much  higher screen resolutions. This makes the screen really wide and it'll look like two screens in one. - This is desktop real estate. What to look out for when buying an lcd display whether widescreen or not is to look for a high response times . -- this is measured in milliseconds. This represents how fast the monitor can refresh the image displayed on screen. Look for atleast 8ms (lower numbers are better). Then take a look at the brightness- this is very important. 500:1 is good. \n\nThe  choice between the acer and the samsung should be determined by price .-- after all features have been checked of course. Goodluck.

I won't correct your spelling (I have trouble myself), but that is an apples and oranges question. Plasma has to do with the type of screen (Plasma, LCD, DLP...and so on). HD has to do with the resolution, or the number of lines on the picture, old TV's had 410 lines HD has 720 or 1080, ie a sharper picture. I would be glad to go in more detail if you e-mail me. :)

Conserves energy, supports very high resolutions, portable, sexy.\n\nNote: Viewing angle is still a trouble..... you don't have that problem in CRT monitors. The picture becomes negetive & colour changes when we increase the viewing angle of a TFT screen.

right click on desktop and go to properties, then to settings , and move th eslider and press apply.\nbut you want to run an LCD at 60mhz. trust me , it will look perfect. and also find the NATIVE resolution and only run your lcd at the native resolution. on a 19 inch lcd it probably is 1280x1024@60

No, they are easier on your eyes compared to same-sized CRTs. LCDs tend to be bright so adjust the brightness to a point where you are comfortable. Usually, however, a bigger and good CRT is more comfortable than a small LCD, but it mainly depends on personal preference.

It will look just like normal TV looks through the tuner card. Windowed you're fine. If you go fullscreen it will look bad because a TV's resolution is really low when compared to a computer screen.

Use a DVI to HDMI converter cable plug the HDMI port to the cable box and the DVI port to the monitor.\n \n   720p HDTV has a resolution of 1280x720 or 1366x768. \n\n   1080p has a resolution of 1920x1080 or 1920x1200

They both do, but most likely your monitor has the lower maximum resolution then your video card. If you want to watch standard defintion TV on your monitor, then I am 100% you can do that, its only 480x600, You can also probably watch at least 720 in high definition

You need a TV tuner card. If you want a picture large enough to fill the whole screen get an HDTV tuner card. But DONT EVER GET AN ATI TUNER CARD (they have tons of glitches, bugs, and problems).

Howstuffworks compares CRT's with LED Jumbo TV screens.  Worth a check.  Good luck.

For a monitor to be considered HD it must have a native resolution of AT LEAST 1280 x 720. Most LCD's meant for computer use will meet this specification.\n\nIf you want it to be capable of 1080i or 1080p resolutions, you will need a monitor that has a resolution of 1920x1080 or higher. This will generally only be available on 24" widescreen LCD's for computers

Just got a tube 26" Widescreen HD.  It is 20" deep.  Look for the word panel in the advertisements. Find out costs of installation before you go too far. Get one with the tuner built in.  Other wise you will have to purchase the tuner for $150-200.  I love mine.  The picture is incredible.

As long as your monitor can display 1280x720 (HDTV) or 1280x1080 (later, maybe on HD DVD and video games).  You might not see an exact match with your monitor, but if you can display more it will adjust downward.

Seems like the highest resolution it can display is 1024x768. It can support resolutions up to 2048x1536 in panning mode whatever that means.  Look all the way at bottom of page to see video specs. Hope this helps.

A high Screen resolution will help you be able to read articles, but you need to have it set where the text doesn't become distorted. When you move a small resolution to a bigger screen the text and images will become hard to see and read. So set it at a level where you can read it. I recomend 1152x864 in 32bit color format. I think most new computers can go higher.
