(reading this back, god its gonna be a doozy)
Hey all,
Have been looking around at 19-22" LCD TV/Monitor in ones, but i've been looking at the ones with built in TV tuners, which is kind what i need, and kinda what i don't..
I'll be using this as a replacement for my CRT 14" TV which sites next to the PC, and has the following inputs used:
SCART - DVD Recorder which is in turned linked to Freeview Box
Composite Video; PC, although text looks like absolute HELL!
My main monitor (20" Belinia 102035W) has the PC in via DVI and 360 in via VGA.
The 360 and PC are going to stay plugged in to the Belinea, for now.
The plan was to get a HD Compatible LCD w/ TV Tuner (Ie: 19" Samsung Pebble) have the dvd recorder (freeview & freecom media player through that) in the SCART, PC in via DVi and leaving VGA free for the 360 if need be.
Granted for my budget I seem to be having trouble finding a good LCD none tuner screen with Composite, Analogue & DVI, so i'm thinking its down to the pebble.
I can get:
19" Pebble for £190 + shipping
20" Pebble for £223 + shipping (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-064-SA&groupid=703&catid=511&subcat=)
Would it be worth the extra £33 for 1 inch of screen, its going to be used as a windows monitor extension sometimes, but mostly to hold MSN conversations etc.. on while the 360 is on, on the Belinea (360 will stay on the Belinea so i don't end up swapping and changing every time the gf is over and wants to watch TV and I decide to use the 360 while she watches something like Sex & The City)
So, yeah...thoughts on the pebble? I'm thinking it'll be an adequate screen.
I've seen some LG 20" screens with tuners for about £189.99 (LG M208WA) i'm not sure anyone has seen much of them?
Any opinions would be happily recieved.
Thanks!
