i've been looking around for a nice shiny new 24" screen and not sure which to get, after reading some reviews im really liking the hyundia W241d-pva at £423, and also just from pure looks also really liking the LG L245WP.
bascially i currently have a viewsonic vx2025wm which is great which i will be using possibly as my primary screen and then have a second 24" screen to use when i need it for games/work if i need more space and then also as a tv but obviously as it's a monitor it doesn't give the same connections and features as a standard tv though hoping hardware can be bought for this.
anyway hoping you guys can suggest which to go for out of the 2 i suggested or maybe any i have missed? im more for the hyundia from reviews but lg because imo it looks much nicer.
Is 24" the right pixel pitch to go with a 20.1"? i had a 19" not widescreen and because the pixel pitch was different it looked aweful when stuff went from one screento the next as it increases in size.
also is it possible to get a computer monitor to have the same features as a tv and looks as good? like im wanting to have it to have scart connections so i can plug in dvd/wii/friends xbox/future hd or bluray dvd player, analog connector for the virgin plus box, and also have remote control to turn it on/standby and change channels like a normal tv. i did buy a cheap tv card for pc but didn't like it as it was cheap and required the computer on to use which wasn't very good for night time when watching tv before bed and just wanting to hit the off button and snooze away. if this is also possible is there any way to get it so the screen doesn't go to standby but instead off so that the led light isn't on at night? i don't know how birhgt or even what coulour the light is but at my dads he has speakers with tiny tiny led blue lights but at night can light up the whole blooming room
so anyone can you guys help me out?
thanks a bunch
