After reading some similar posts I need less technical and more day-to-day opinions on this. I am NOT a computer person. I just like to press buttons and smile when the pretty lights come on.
I went to Best Buy looking for a new Display for my computer. I mainly use it for playing Video Games, watching movies/shows and some light Photoshop/Home Movie editing. I currently run my resolution at 1280x1080-32bit.
Two items that caught my eye:
$230 Samsung - 23.6" LED HD Monitor
$269 Samsung - 29" Class LED - 720p - 60Hz - HDTV.
23.6" vs 29" is a large difference. I want a large monitor
The helper guy told me that there was a reason why they have Computer Monitors in one section and TV's on another section. The dude was a little apathetic, did not care to explain anything and looked at me like I was an idiot so I just left the store and not going back to that one. BUT I still need to buy the display... I use the computer for hours every day and image quality is my main concern.
So... Will the 29" TV "look as good" as a computer monitor?
