Original Question

What's the smallest LCD HDTV with 1080P?

Q. Here's the deal: I do a lot of graphics work on two monitors that are side by side. One of them is a 24" CRT and the other is a 17" LCD. The LCD broke the other day so it's time to get a new one. However, I want to get an LCD HDTV instead. That way, I can chuck my ten year old TV and clear up more space in my room. Problem is that I haven't been able to find an LCD with 1080P under 32". I can probably fit anything 30" and under on my desk. This would be used as the second monitor to the CRT and as a TV/video gaming (PS3/XB360). I need that 1920x1080 resolution for my work, so please leave comments about 1080P being useless on screens smaller than 42" and etc at the front door. A 720P resolution just won't cut it. Also, I will only be a foot or two away from the screen, so I will be able to tell the difference in image. Any help? And does anyone have a 1080P TV that is below 32"?

A. There are many 1920�1200 WUXGA monitors in the 19- to 30-inch size range�particularly in the 23/24- and 26/27-inch classes�that are capable of functioning as a 1080p Full HD display. Finding full blown 1080p HDTVs in the same size range is still fairly difficult though a few new models are slowly beginning to trickle out. For what it�s worth many experts and enthusiasts believe the ultimate WUXGA/1080p monitor/HDTV in the 19- to 30-inch size range will utilize one of the various IPS (In-Plane Switching) LCD panel technologies, i.e., S-IPS, AS-IPS, H-IPS, etc., along with the obligatory overdrive technology to reduce panel response times. Included in the list below are several FPDs that utilize in-plane switching LCD panels.

The features that I believe are important in a high performance, fixed-pixel, HD flat panel display are: adjustable gamma control (preferably over the range of gamma values from 2.0 to 2.6,) good black level performance, rapid panel response time (16 ms or less - worst case measured response time,) good screen uniformity, 1:1 pixel mapping, native 1080p24 support, true 10-bit panel technology, accurate gray-scale and color reproduction including support for full display �calibration� for each input, fully HDCP compliant, HDMI/DVI AND VGA inputs (YPbPr component video inputs would also be a welcome addition,) and above all highly effective video and image processing. (In addition, with all things being equal I prefer LCD monitors or HDTVs that use RGB LED back-light units rather than the standard fluorescent lamp-based BLUs.)

With so many new high resolution, HD displays in the 19- to 30-inch size range it remains difficult to narrow-down the field of choices to a select few. Starting with the list below I recommend that you attempt to narrow the selection using your own criteria and then visit nearby dealers to thoroughly evaluate the chosen displays on your short-list.

Below is a brief list of 22- to 27-inch class WUXGA/1080p displays currently available from which one or more models should meet most of your requirements.

Can you get sound from a 360 to a computer moniter without built-in speakers with an HDMI cable?

Q. I have a BenQ V2400W LCD monitor and some sort of Logitech 5.1 surround system that works great with my monitor when playing computer games in 1080p, and it makes 360 games look great, too. I can deal with it for games like madden, but for Mass Effect, you just need sound. So, is there any way so I can the game on the computer monitor?

A. yes you can connect your logitech system to the audio autput or headphone output of the lcd monitor. But if the logitech system has seperate inputs for the front rear and center you won't be able to have 5.1 sound but just stereo.
OR you can connect 360 to your lcd hdmi input as you do usually and then the lcd audio output connect it to your computer's line in(but this depend on your computers sound hardware).

How do i get my stuff back from someone elses landlord?

Q. I let my brother borrow a lcd monitor a while back when he moved into his friends/coworkers house. A couple of months later they emptied the house out so everyone had to move out. My brother had no been keeping up in rent and they decided to keep MY monitor as collateral, to which he agreed. How do i go about getting back my monitor without getting in between their financial agreement?

A. The landlord really can't give you the monitor, How would he know who owns it? This is not his problem.

You need to deal with your brother, no one else can get involved with this.

how good are the AOC lcd monitors?is this company good in monitors?

Q. i came to know that AOC provide cheapest lcd monitor in india.
i need 22" monitor in chandigarh.
is this company trustworthy?

A. Obviously I can't vouch for them if they are trustworthy or if they have good customer support. However I have heard about them for some time now even though I have never owned one myself. They seem pretty good from what seen in stores and magazines. I haven't heard anything bad about them.

It's all a matter of preference and brand name. If you don't care about brand names they should be just as good as most of the top names out there but without the high prices of the brand names. If you get a good deal on one I say go for it. Just look for the specs that is the most important. Most monitors should last for years if you take care of them.

Which is the best 20" wide LCD monitor ? Am a designer i need a monitor with good resolution?

Q. I need to buy an LCD monitor Wide 20" with good resolution, am a designer and need to get the best view. Please suggest. Also Did anyone knows what is the actual retail price of Corsair DDR3 RAM (6GB)? and the price for Gigabyte EX 58 UD3 mother board?

A. why 20 inches?
its a better deal to spend a bit more and get a simple 22 to 24 inch screen.
Like what I found:
Acer B233HU 23in 2048x1152 - 234USD
I'm looking for a monitor also, and I also do a bit of graphics design. I opted for increased resolution and larger screen size, although actual measurements its really just my existing monitor that's 6 inches wider.
or how about this one:
Auria EQ236 1080p 23.6in - 180USD
resolution is a bet smaller, if you prefer to have icons and screen images to be a bit larger.

corsair 6GB ddr3 1600 is around $150
gigabyte ud3's are around $200

Should I buy widescreen monitor if the optimal resolution on my current laptop is 1024x768?

Q. I'm using a ThinkPad T41p as my sole computer right now. Would like to get an LCD monitor...either 19" LCD regular (not widescreen) or 20-22" widescreen...trying to decide which to get.

Widescreen monitors seems to be the new standard. However, I'm limited by my laptop video card with optimal resolution is 1024x768. Should I purchase a widescreen monitor and just deal with the flattened stretched out text and images, or will my limited video card never be able to take advantage of the benefits of a widescreen monitor?

From usage perspective: I use Microsoft Office Powerpoint, Excel, Word, and surf the internet all day long. I watch online videos on YouTube. I do not play games, but watch occasional movie.

A. "Optimal Resolution" is a function of the LCD screen, not the video adapter. Go into your graphic settings and see what widescreen resolutions are available. Some common WS resolutions you will see are 1280X720, 1440x900, and 1680x1050 - the last two being the most common in full sized monitors. Setting your color depth to 16 bit will usually allow a wider range of resolution settings, BTW. If any of those resolutions are supported, pick a monitor that matches. You may get additional resolutions settings if you update your graphics driver to the latest version.

how good are the AOC lcd monitors?is this company good in monitors?

Q. i came to know that AOC provide cheapest lcd monitor in india.
i need 22" monitor in chandigarh.
is this company trustworthy?

A. Obviously I can't vouch for them if they are trustworthy or if they have good customer support. However I have heard about them for some time now even though I have never owned one myself. They seem pretty good from what seen in stores and magazines. I haven't heard anything bad about them.

It's all a matter of preference and brand name. If you don't care about brand names they should be just as good as most of the top names out there but without the high prices of the brand names. If you get a good deal on one I say go for it. Just look for the specs that is the most important. Most monitors should last for years if you take care of them.

Should I buy widescreen monitor if the optimal resolution on my current laptop is 1024x768?

Q. I'm using a ThinkPad T41p as my sole computer right now. Would like to get an LCD monitor...either 19" LCD regular (not widescreen) or 20-22" widescreen...trying to decide which to get.

Widescreen monitors seems to be the new standard. However, I'm limited by my laptop video card with optimal resolution is 1024x768. Should I purchase a widescreen monitor and just deal with the flattened stretched out text and images, or will my limited video card never be able to take advantage of the benefits of a widescreen monitor?

From usage perspective: I use Microsoft Office Powerpoint, Excel, Word, and surf the internet all day long. I watch online videos on YouTube. I do not play games, but watch occasional movie.

Can you get sound from a 360 to a computer moniter without built-in speakers with an HDMI cable?

Q. I have a BenQ V2400W LCD monitor and some sort of Logitech 5.1 surround system that works great with my monitor when playing computer games in 1080p, and it makes 360 games look great, too. I can deal with it for games like madden, but for Mass Effect, you just need sound. So, is there any way so I can the game on the computer monitor?

A. yes you can connect your logitech system to the audio autput or headphone output of the lcd monitor. But if the logitech system has seperate inputs for the front rear and center you won't be able to have 5.1 sound but just stereo.
OR you can connect 360 to your lcd hdmi input as you do usually and then the lcd audio output connect it to your computer's line in(but this depend on your computers sound hardware).

How do i get my stuff back from someone elses landlord?

Q. I let my brother borrow a lcd monitor a while back when he moved into his friends/coworkers house. A couple of months later they emptied the house out so everyone had to move out. My brother had no been keeping up in rent and they decided to keep MY monitor as collateral, to which he agreed. How do i go about getting back my monitor without getting in between their financial agreement?

A. The landlord really can't give you the monitor, How would he know who owns it? This is not his problem.

You need to deal with your brother, no one else can get involved with this.
