What’s the difference between buying an LCD monitor and an LCD Television today?
Because I think to get an LCD monitor for my computer but why not just get an LCD TV and use it as my computer monitor, among other things? Whats the difference?

LCDs have no tuner, so good luck to watch TV with just that. . . LCD TV, I think, can not be used for comps. . .

Not too sure about this. . but I think that HDTVs are not DVI so you’d have to buy a DVI to HDMI. There are probably differences in the density of pixel and refresh rate, but it depends on what you buy. So I do not know how a television would cooperate with a video card as they are for LCD monitors.

TV sets, as noted, have tuners, and many additional connections to go with them. They also get better resolution, being able to give you the real 1080 that everyone is lookin for. LCDs typically max out at 1440 x 900, and since they are not 900 films and shows, you will be limited to version 720 of display high def. I’m not saying you can not find a monitor of 1080, they are just more expensive. Speaking of money, televisions run more than just a monitor, and you can always get a tuner card for the computer, eliminating the need for a tuner in the monitor. HDMI Converters are extremely cheap, so no need to worry there.

There are many differences between LCD monitors and LCD televisions today. The biggest difference is the resolution. LCD monitors have higher resolution as HDTV. Most HDTVs consumption max out at 1920×1080 pixels (aka 1080p “Full HD”) while the common screens with screen sizes of 24-30 “are capable of 1900×1200 or 2560×1600 (this resolution is so more than your common television 1080p television). Basically, LCD monitors have a better tone of the image because they have many more pixels to a size much smaller screen (1920×1080 compare a 50 “with a resolution of 2560×1600 30″ monitor). Next is the panel technology. Most manufacturers of LCD monitors use TN panels, while nearly all LCD TVs use something as MVA (not sure of IPS). Basically, the AMT is cheap and monitors reflect in their prices. TN provides fast response times while MVA / IPS provides excellent color reproduction and the prevention of color to move from an angle. However, there are many MVA / IPS LCD monitors also, it’s just they are usually much more cher.Moniteurs LCD also generally do not have TV tuners, but some, like the Samsung T240 will come with a built-tuner and télécommande.Avant d ‘buy, try to first search input shift TV and LCD response times, since these factors will be most evident in the use of computers every day.
