Monitors

[SuperChuck]

lets not mislead people into thinking that hooking a television up to your computer will deliver the same sharpness and quality that a computer monitor can, because that's simply untrue. This is why computer monitors are inherently more expensive than regular TVs. TV = substantially lower resolution (unless you've got an HDTV)

Even with HD, you need to have a proper resolution coming out of the video card or you'll get compression funk.

If you want quality, you want CRT

That depends on your definition of quality. If you want to be playing games at 60 fps, you're probably going to need a CRT. However, if you're staring at text all day (such as, say, a programmer), LCD is MUCH nicer on your eyes. And since most porn is 24-30 fps, that's fine, too.

I just put together a computer for a buddy's friend and this is the monitor I found to accomodate the budget I was given. When I set it up, I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and the price was just right. Here's a link to it on Newegg.com...
