Want to use photoshop and corel on my home pc.....also do video editing (little) and gaming (some..will sacrifice). I can fit a 37*LCD or Plasma in my cabinet and I want to know which of those would be best used as a 2nd PC monitor.....lcd or plasma? Then what video card specs and cpu/board specs would "get me by decent". Nothing eye popping expected. Will still use the XBOX on TV and dont have to game......but Corel/Photoshop NEEDED.|||LCD HDTVs with HDMI or VGA ports behave just like LCD monitors. Their image quality generally is about the same as a monitor except the screen is bigger for the same number of pixels, so everything looks bigger (designed for viewing from a further distance).
You can absolutely use an LCD HDTV as a monitor. I do, and it looks fabulous. My computer is hooked up to a 52" LCD HDTV using a DVI-to-HDMI cable (yes, DVI is compatible with HDMI): http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f347/a…
It works perfectly, displaying 1920x1080 (my TV's resolution).
Get an LCD HDTV. Don't use a plasma, because if you leave a still image on a plasma TV for a length of time, the image will get burnt into the plasma screen. LCDs do not suffer burn-in problems.
And make sure the LCD HDTV you are getting has as many HDMI ports as possible, and that your graphics card has either a DVI or HDMI port.
Hope this helps.|||Just make sure your video card has either a DVI or HDMI port, and that it is HDCP-compliant.
Good luck, and enjoy!
