In what HDTV category would a 1440 x 900 resolution monitor fall under?

None.\n\nHDTV comes in following native resolutions:\n720p60: 1280 × 720 pixels, progressive encoding with 60 frames per second.\n1080i50: 1920 × 1080 pixels, interlaced encoding with 50 fields (25 frames) per second.\n\nA screen having a native resolution of 1440x900 will have to resize the image. Something that is often spotted by viewers as an out of focus image and stressful thing to watch. It's better to have the resolution (especially the lines) as native resolution compared to your source material.

add a PCI/AGP graphic card that has TV out port (S-Video), or maybe RCA adapters

Resolution - Higher the better (1280 x 1024 is standard)\nContrast Ratio - Higher the better (500 is standard)\nResponse Time - Lower the better (16ms is standard)\nViewing angles - Higher the better (160 is standard)\n\nAlso look to see whether it has integrated speakers, tilting mechanism, wall mounting facility etc.

I'm currently using one similar to below.  Love it to death.\n\nIf you go with LCD, be sure to use the DVI connection and not analog.  Makes a HUGH difference in quality, especially in movies and games.

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

My suggestion is buy the cheapest one you can get, and put your money into the best TV you can afford.\n\nThe problem with using a TV as a monitor for a PC is that a STANDARD TV is about equal to a 640x480 VGA screen.  If you go HDTV, you will get significantly better resolution.\n\nBut I don't care is the scan converter says it will do 800x600 or 1024x768, if it's NOT hooked up to an HDTV, you are going to HATE what it looks like.\n\nIf you dont believe me, go try and get some guy at a computer store to demo the unit on a STANDARD (normal, non-HDTV) TV.  First, they probably won't do it, and second, if they do, you will see what I'm talking about...

The main thing with LCD monitors is response time.  If you play games a low response time causes ghosting effects which makes the image appear blurred, one with a fast response time (16ms or better) will not have this problem.  You are in luck, the prices of LCD monitors have plummeted in the past few years and you can get a very good one from either Viewsonic or Samsung for around $200 for a 17" LCD monitor which has a resolution of 1280 x 1024 and 15" monitors have a resolution of 1024 x 768.  I would get a 17".  There aren't many other factors to consider besides maybe contrast ratio which is measured in ratios like 450:1 but tests have shown each manufacturer uses their own scale and some 450:1 monitors made by Samsung and Viewsonic are actually brighter and sharper than 600:1 monitors made by off-brand companies.\n\nAt any rate, you can't go wrong with Viewsonic or Samsung and you just can't beat Newegg for selection or service.\n\n17" Viewsonics here, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Manufactory=1226&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=1056%3A9096&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&description=&MinPrice=&MaxPrice=&SubCategory=20&Submit=Property and 17" Samsungs here, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Manufactory=1077&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=1056%3A9096&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&description=&MinPrice=&MaxPrice=&SubCategory=20&Submit=Property\n\nYou should also see if you have a DVI connection on your video card, if you do, I recommend getting one with a DVI input on it for even better image quality over the VGA connection.\n\nI hope around $200 or $230 meats your definition of cheap.  Yes, there are cheaper 17" LCD monitors at maybe $150 but they do not posses quality anywhere near Samsung or Viewsonic.\n\nGood Hunting!

As far as I'm aware they'res not. There are generally settings on the actual monitor for stuff like that. Those settings are independent of the computer or the video card

You are right to check the ratings.  Consider the LCD Monitors at NewEgg.  They show ratings from customers.   Visit http://www.newegg.com and use the Search feature to find LCD MONITOR.\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

I think they mean HDTV.  There got this new reality show called Operation Iraqi Freedom.  The ratings are bad.

You should look at the resolution, brilliance, contrast and response time.\n\nFor image processing, the contrast factor is very important.   I would say at least 500:1 \n\nIf you play video games, response time is crucial. It should be as small as possible. 12 ms at most.\n\nIf your computer has a graphics card with a DVI output, then  I recommend that you look for an LCD monitor that has a DVI input.\n\nLook also for companies that offer three years (or more) manufacturer guarantee.

Good point.  I have both VGA and DVI monitors and definitely notice the difference.  The DVI monitor I bought was very carefully chosen to minimize its price but even then I paid a $50-$100 premium for it over VGA monitors.  Which is weird since VGA must convert to digital to show the image whereas DVI doesn't so it sounds like less components are involved in DVI compared to VGA - go figure.  DVI is too complicated for dumb product & technology reviewers to notice, hence its relative unpopularity compared to VGA.  At least we're seeing video card manufacturers supplying S-Video, VGA, and DVI for their cards so that consumers are given greater flexibility.  If we can get consumers stop solely considering Dell and HP for their monitors, then we should see DVI becoming more popular (and cheaper).

You need a video processor capable of rendering screen sizes larger than that and a monitor capable of rendering the larger size.\n\nSo, the short answer: Spend money.

there are many.\n\nSome are :-\n\nAnalog - supports only upto 16 bit high colour\nDigital -  supports more than 32 bits true colour\nLCD -  Slim Liquid Crystal display with digital support.\nPlasma - Same as LCT but with more higher resolutions and size.

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".

Depend on the choice of applications you run..\nIf you want it for entertainment purpose, go for TFT monitors.

Your question is hard to understand.\nPerhaps this might help?\nhttp://www.cnet.com.au/desktops/monitors/0,239029422,240053704,00.htm
