Some of these questions are going to be stupid because i have no idea in this particular subject region.
I was thinking of upgrading my 20.1" viewsonic widescreen to a 26" acer widescreen monitor (about £580). Then i started looking at the 32" LCD Tv's on OCuK for around the £400-£600 region. I have now been left with a dilema of 3 choices.
1). Upgrade my monitor to the 26" Acer widescreen
2). Upgrade my monitor to a 32" LCD tv and use that for all windows, gaming, dvd playback and watching tv through my tv card.
3). Keep my monitor for windows and gaming use. But also connect a 32" LCD tv for dvd playback and watching tv through my tv card.
I am currently swaying towards option 3. Which would you choose? If i used 32" LCD for general windows use and gaming would i see a reduction in quality?
If i do keep my monitor and get a 32" as well, how would i connect the TV? vga, dvi or something else? Would gfx card effect the quality of dvd and tv watching on the LCD? Is it possible to have a dvd playing on my pc displayed on the 32" LCD at the same time as browsing on the monitor? Will my 1800xt be up to this?
