Dynex TV as a computer monitor
 

What do you guys think of using a 24 inch 1080P Dynex TV for a computer monitor?

had a dynex 27'' and 32'' 720p n 1080p, used them both as a computer monitor (currently using a samsung 46" 1080p) and it did its job really well

depending on how far you sit from the monitor, you may have to adjust your sharpness level etc. if u are running HDMI, otherwise its a solid tv for the price IMO

I'd say go for it...its all pros and no cons to me IMO.

I don't have direct experience w/ a Dynex, but I had a Vizio 37" as a monitor for a while and noticed the refresh rates were too high for gaming especially shooters, and switched back to a normal sized monitor for my pc.

A 24" 1080p lcdtv is essentially the same as a 24" compter lcd. I use a vizio 26" 1080p and it works fine.

I didn't want to create a new thread so I thought I'd ask here.

I'm in the market for a new TV and I am planning on using it as a computer monitor as well.

Based on my own knowledge and what I've read online, I've kinda figured out the following:

TV:
to ensure optimal viewing I'm thinking of the following specs for my TV:

at least 32", I'm probably getting one bigger than that because I really want to use it as a TV as well obviously

Samsung (don't want any inferior brands but if anyone has other suggestions outside of Samsung let me know)
LED
1080p (720p not clear enough--huge pixels)

any other specs I should be aware of?


I also want to ensure I won't have problems connecting it to my computer to use as a monitor.

Most HDTVs have HDMI ports, but my desktop has a DVI. Simple solution = get a DVI to HDMI wire?

Is there anything else I should be aware of just to ensure I won't have any issues with connecting it to my desktop?




Any help would be appreciated. I'm really out of the loop with regards to TVs.

Thanks

Just get DVI to HDMI adapter/wire. I used one previously on my older 9600GT and it worked fine. I know have a video card with native HDMI out.
