Hi! I'm currently considering using this TV as my PC monitor: http://bestelectrodeals.net/hannspree-st28fmur-28-full-hd1080p-lcd-apple-tv.html
Apple TV as in an actual apple, not the Steve Jobs kind! Although the apple looks like it could be a macintosh, heh heh.
It's 1080p, 28" inches wide and LCD. Max resolution is 1920 x 1200. It's HDMI, also has VGA. Main use/build of PC isn't really going towards gaming, I'm centered on illustration, graphics, video production, etc. An art and project computer more than anything. Crisp and clear is important, I'm looking to avoid the blurriness of text and such that can happen using a TV as a monitor. Basically, I'm a total noob and have no idea what sort of graphics card I need, and exactly what are the limitations with a TV like this when it comes to that, and really just the best I can do with it. Budget is limitless. Thanks so much!! :wahoo:

The purpose of a graphics card is to display a visual, so pretty much any graphics card. If your display has a maximum resolution of 1080p, then I assume it has either an HDMI port, Display Port or MiniDisplay Port, and I would suggest using any of these over VGA for the best quality and perfect resolution.

Before anything, your next step is to determine what graphics card is compatible with the PC you are using. For the most part, although not necessary, I would recommend something as simple as a GTX 1050 (not the Ti as you are not using it for gaming). It has a low power draw and I read that some even depend only on using your PCIE slot for all of it's power needs.

EDIT: I did notice that you mentioned video production. Depending on...

EDIT: I did notice that you mentioned video production. Depending on how demanding this work will be, you may need something a bit stronger, but you need to make sure that you CPU is up to it as well. Also, is this the price you will be paying for this display? I wouldn't recommend spending so much on a monitor that isn't from a known brand, even if it has a cool "apple" design.
