Original Question

Difference between LCD(or Plasma) HDTV Monitor or TV?

Q. Is it really as simple as the monitor doesn't have tuner? Why is a monitor so much cheaper than a TV? Why would I buy a monitor over a TV(Pro's and Con's).

A. HD monitor: This is a monitor that is capable of showing at least 720p signals natively, which is the minimum to be considered HD. Because they lack built-in TV tuners of any kind, however, they can only officially be called "monitors." But since most people get their HD programming from their cable or satellite operator, the increasingly scarce HD monitor can be a great value.

HD-ready TVs: The jury's still out on what exactly this means, but loosely and generally this refers either to an HD monitor with no tuners whatsoever or to a TV that can accept and display HD signals of at least 720p but has only an NTSC (standard TV) tuner built in. Again, since they lack the built-in HD tuner, these TVs are often a decent bang for the buck. The FCC has mandated that all TVs over 25 inches must now have built-in HD tuners, so it's increasingly hard to find large-screen HD-ready TVs, but deals abound online.

HDTV: This is a TV that can natively show at least 720p signals and has built-in NTSC (standard) and ATSC (HD) tuners, so you can grab over-the-air HD signals using an antenna. This knocks up the price a bit, but the advantage is you can use things like HD-ready CableCards and other space-saving technologies.

-----

If you subscrible to cable or satellite, you'll be fine getting an HD monitor and saving some cash. If you plan to use an antenna to snag over-the-air HD broadcasts, you'll want to get an HDTV so as not to have to purchase the necessary tuner.

buying an LCD monitor vs HDTV?

Q. Hey everybody, I just finished building a Media Center pc, and was wondering which technology I should go with, LCD monitor or HDTV.

1. My understanding is that an HDTV is just the same as an LCD monitor, except it includes a tuner and some extra inputs, correct?

2. If I buy a monitor it will be native at 1920x1080 or higher, so there shouldn't be a noticeable difference in quality from an "HD" TV right?

3. Know any good quality PCI-E tv tuner cards?

Thanks, Tim Otto

A. Your pretty much correct all-though if you plan on watching video some monitors have a terrible response time which would give you a pixelated and blurry image when watching things move around on the screen quickly. Try to get a monitor or HDTV with a 6ms response time or better. (lower the better).
I do installation for Digital EDGE in Maryland www.GetDtvReady.com and I can tell you that LCD tvs with bad pixel response time will really disappoint you.

HDTV vs LCD Monitors?

Q. I have been wondering about HDTV quality vs LCD Screen Monitors quality? Are they comparable? Would it be a better investment to go with th HDTV for a bigger screen for a computer or LCD? Whats the biggest difference?
The quality difference i would like to know as far as DPI. Thanx.

A. for a computer monitor your better off with lcd, if you are going to use the monitor for more than computing (hooking it up to both cable/satellite and the computer) then hdtv is going to have more connections and an overall better quality.

How do you remove sticky tape residue from Monitors and TVs?

Q. Just to make them a little bit less dirtier, I've put plastic on the back of my LCD monitor and HDTV. But today when I took those off, I've found sticky tape gunk all over the back of my monitor and TV.

Is there an easy way to remove them?

A. Goo Gone, the adhesive remover, not the cleaner.
Get it at the hardware store.

What's the difference between buying an LCD monitor and an LCD Television today?

Q. Because I'm thinking of getting an LCD monitor for my computer but why not just get an LCD TV and use it as my computer monitor among other things? Whats the difference?

A. There are numerous differences between lcd monitors and lcd tv sets today. The biggest difference is resolution. LCD monitors have way higher resolution than HDTVs. Most consumer HDTVs max out at 1920x1080 pixels (1080p aka "full HD") while common monitors with screen sizes 24-30" are capable of 1900x1200 or even 2560x1600 (that's way more resolution than your common 1080p tv set). Basically, LCD monitors have better pixel pitch since they have a lot more pixels at a much smaller screen size (compare a 1920x1080 50" with a 2560x1600 resolution 30" monitor).

Next is panel technology. Most manufacturers of LCD monitors use TN panels, while almost all LCD tvs use something like MVA (not sure about ips). Basically, TN is cheap and the monitors reflect this in their prices. TN gives fast response times while MVA/IPS allows excellent color reproduction as well as preventing colors from shifting when viewed at an angle. However, there are many mva/ips LCD monitors too, it's just that they're usually much much more expensive.

LCD monitors also usually do not have tv tuners but some, like the samsung T240HD do come with a buil-in tuner and a remote control.

Before buying, try to research first on the LCD tv's input lag and response times, since these will be the factors most readily apparent in everyday computer use.

How much FPS will a vizio 26 inch hdtv lcd monitor do up to until it discards the rest?

Q. (like average 17" will display 60fps and discard the rest... well what about a vizio 26 inch hdtv lcd monitor?)

A. depends on the max resolution...a 26" is likely 720p? In the 720p the "p" refers to a max framerate of 60fps if it is some how 1080i this is 30fps...typically these all support 60 fps in 1280x720 resolution...if it is in fact 1080p this it will support 60 fps in 1920x1080 resolution

Is there a TV cable to WUXGA or DVI converter that supports HDTV?

Q. I am looking for a TV tuner to use with this monitor: Sony SDM-P234W 23 inch LCD Monitor that supports HDTV. The monitor's video inputs are VGA or DVI. Is there any tuner that does this? Thanks!

A. Hiya Marcellus,

Yeah, there are many stand alone HD tuners that will give you HDTV over DVI. Here is one that looks good and priced right: http://www.epvision.com/index.htm

That type of unit would do the trick unless you are referring to a tuner that is installed in your PC and will receive HDTV.

Here is a link to Newegg PC TV tuners (4 pages) : http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2000380047%201148510222&page=1&bop=And
