'Ello Chaps
Decided it's time for me to buy a new 'multi-purpose' monitor. At the moment, the monitor I have is pretty alright, it's a 17" "Philips 170B2" and does what I wanted it to do when I bought it 4 odd years ago.
Now the monitor is to small, has a few dead pixels and I need something a bit newer and easier on the eyes.
Already decided I'm going to need an LCD flatscreen, no CRTs. Has to be at least 20"+ as I want this monitor to be sufficent to act as a TV aswell as a PC monitor (Why I want it to be a fairly big size). Although I'm not entirely sure whether you can have one for both those tasks or what to look for to tell if it can?
I've read a bit about refresh rates, screen ratios and screen resolution but don't completely understand what's good and whats not. Some assistance in that area would be appreciated also
Budget can be streched a little as ideally I would like this to be a Tv and Pc monitor so I don't have to go out and spend an extra £X to buy a Tv.
TIA,
Chris
