My PC is showing its age, and my hitachi monitor ive had a good while since 17 inch tfts came out has developed a fault where it wont power up soemtimes so time to update...
But its kinda overwhelming so im after some advice, i can read specific forums for pc specs but what i want to do is try and get everything on my desk working together better, i have:
Main PC
DVD Player/Wireless video sender
M1330 Laptop(has HDMI and VGA port)
What id love to do, is get the pc and DVD player (and Laptop when i want it to) using matching displays s i can dump my crt tv that is on the dvd player.
But i have no idea how to go about this really for the best in terms of what displays/graphics card, and what speakers could be used with both the dvd and computer if thats possible.
Id probably be looking at getting a dual display, but id like to be able to play dvds on one of the screens from the dvd player aswell as use it as a second screen for my pc if i wish...sometimes its good to be able to turn the pc off and still play dvds.
Id also like to be able to link up a wireless tv sender to one of the screens if i can find one that works with a wireless network around.
So it gets kinda complex, budget is kinda flexible, dont want extreme top of the range that is overpriced but not cheap either. And ill be using it for general PC work Photoshop, gaming etc.
To sum up:
Screen that works with PC
Second Screen that can be a second display for PC , but also can act as a TV screen for dvd player/wireless tv sender(avswitcher is fine for these perhaps) and also i can link laptop to second screen when i need to work on it a lot. And matching screens would be best of course.
And Sound that works well for the whole setup...but im not mad on sound so an average setup that works well will do. Kinda complex maybe but im sure some1 with more experience has a better idea how to achieve it. I have this big corner desk and id love to make a kinda ultimate all in one pc/media space.
