I'm lookin at buying a new 24" widescreen monitor and i was wondering what the difference was between a 24" lcd monitor and a 24" lcd tv? Here is a link to both of them.

Monitor - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6824001275

TV - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6824001280


I do see that the contrast ratio for the TV is 10000:1 while the monitor is 20000:1. So in theory would the monitor have a little bit better of a picture or what? Also if i did get the TV i'd plug it into my computer via HDMI. I'm looking for which one would have the BEST gaming performance since that will be the primary use for it.


-Thanks

The TV has a built-in NTSC tuner and Dolby Digital decoder. So slap an antenna on it and you can get over-the-air HDTV.

 

Edit: It also has more inputs and outputs than the monitor.

What about gaming performance and picture quality?

For gaming, get a LCD monitor. I recommend Samsung LCDs and Sony TVs.

 

I, for one, would never use a TV for a PC monitor as it complicates things. No longer simple.
