<div>Dear list,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am planning on building a HTPC. This will be a multi purpose system that will be used as a home pc for gaming, email, internet browsing, watching tv, playing dvd's etc. The system will be placed in a small living room. I have pretty much gathered all hardware related information and decided to go for the PVR-150 card because of the good support and the fact that the card has been tried and tested by most people setting up an HTPC. The only thing that is still undecided is whether I should buy a LCD Monitor or LCD TV. I would like to hear what your advice on this is? I was thinking about the Asus MW221U monitor, since this is a 22" monitor with great resolution. So for playing games I will get nice smooth graphics and for dvd watching this will be perfect. My only concern would be that I do not know how mythtv and the PVR-150 with only SDTV will handle a widescreen monitor. Will all my tv watching be pulled out of proportion because of the wide screen factor? Would it not be better to sacrifice good PC graphics for a lower resolution LCD TV that can handle the TV input better? Any help whatsoever on this will be much appreciated.
