LCD Television........

[Pop da Hatch 10+ year member]

Well I need a new tv, that will also function as a 2nd monitor for photoshop and other small projects.

I have a $50 gift card to best buy, could likely purchase a T.V. cheaper online? What do the CA.com experts suggest, I have looked at tigerdirect.com and newegg.com. Im looking for a 22" - 26" tv in the $300-500 price range.

Any suggestions.........?

kthx.

oh ok well then your gonna want a 32"

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889102221

so you can do 1920x1080. a 24" monitor is 1920x1200 and a 22" is 1680x1050 so all pretty close. i have a 37" lcd thats 720p it says 1366x768, when i watch movies form my comp on it i have to put it on 1280x768, which is about the same reso as a 15.4" laptop uses (1280x800)

I have a 24" monitor, and if I set my room up right, I could use it for a TV and monitor. This thing is HUGE.
