You get to decide which TV I should I buy...
Ok, I'm treating myself. I don't have a TV in my bedroom (typical NYC bedroom size). I also need a monitor. Mentally I am able to three table, but my monitor sucks so...I see this Dell deal which I think is pretty good.
Dell 26 $1399 Dell 30 $1899 My major concern is the size, that "30 is too big, hanging on the wall is a little bit of a chore because I have a brick wall, though it would look really cool over the fireplace. Does anyone use a TV these sizes to play on? surf the web? Is it cool? For some reason it seems like it would suck sometimes? I already have a 43" Pioneer Plasma downstairs, but its owned by the roommate so, when I move this will be my primary TV. (Another point for the 30) The %26 is practical for now. Unless some of you think that is even too big. So please pick my TV. Sale ends today so, your votes get it.

Re: Which LCD TV from Dell should I get?
a rear-projection (probably 18" deep) 50" sony lcd set would probably run in the low/mid 2s

Re: Which LCD TV from Dell should I get?
Thanks, I definitely do not have room for that. I need something that can either sit atop my desk or I can hang.
I am very happy with my current plasma. I know the LCDs are dodgy, but I think something like this is what would suit me best.

Re: You get to decide which TV I should I buy...
Neither of these is going to be great for playing cards on or surfing the web/doing othe computer stuff.
Check the resolution. Keep in mind that the resolutation that is always quoted as the "no overlap 4 table resolution" is 1600x1200. At what distance are you going to be viewing this? If it's anything close to the 2 feet that is the recommended viewing distance for monitors, this resolution will drive you batty. What's up with your prank thread? Did I miss it? citanul

Re: You get to decide which TV I should I buy...
TVs are for watching TV, computers are for playing poker until they can come up with a big TV with a large resolution [at least 1600x1200] that doesnt cost and arm and a leg it is useless to combine them. Save some money and dont mix the two.

Re: You get to decide which TV I should I buy...
I was thinking of doing this my self moving into a new apt next week my big screen tv is going to wind up in the living room.
I thought it would be a good idea as well, I guess I will wait to hear more replies. So far it would seem a bad idea [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Find the cheapest 24" that you can find tha'll do 1920x1200 and you'll be far more satisfied than if you try to use what is effectively a TV as a monitor. Monitors can make decent TV's, but TV's cannot make decent monitors. ~D
