I have two things I'd like to ask about. First,
I'll be replacing the
display for my main computer shortly. I'd like to get something larger than
20". I'm thinking an LCD wide format thingy. I'm considering getting a
"flat" television instead of a monitor. Most of them have DVI or VGA
connectors on them. But they also include component inputs, HDMI, and maybe
some other things that can ease connection to classic computers. A
composite RCA is a must. Can anyone suggest a TV model that that's
relatively fast (like< 8ms), and has a high enough resolution that would
also be good for the classic stuff? I'm thinking 1080p would be fine for a
windows desktop.
Spring for the monitor, as they are sharper. TVs also sometimes
(cheaper models) don't allow you to disable the temporal noise
reduction, leading to an annoying delay or lag.
