Re: Will an HD TV function as a PC display?

All TVs these days just about are 1920*1080 and they work ok as monitors and are good for panorama kiosks in public places. It is hard to use them on an extended desktop though if you have aging eyes. You have to keep refocusing if you have the screen back where it should be, 2 or 3 meters away. If you dont have hdmi out on your graphics card you need a DVI to HDMI adapter. Sometimes it is a pain to get full screen working properly on a TV as a monitor. ATI cards have an almost invisible feature "Overscan" which needs to be switched off to get full screen working normally on a TV as a monitor. I know this stuff from trying to get my 3d capable TV working as a preview monitor on my computer. Unless the full screen setting is exact the 3d wont work properly when you choose your 3d mode (usually Side by Side).

In fact 1920 x 1080 is about the maximum resolution my video board supports. I don't know whether the steadiness of the image is good enough, or whether anyone is already trying it, but at a nearby discount store they are offering a Panasonic 32" 3D display, which would be very nice for viewing stereo images and would double as a computer display, which is probably the only way I could justify its purchase to my wife. What do people think. It would kind of dominate my desk, that's for sure... (grin)
