So, now I've started looking around for a possible replacement. My question is<br>
do I get another LCD TV, or are the LCD monitors that are out there now as good<br>or better for what I need?<br></blockquote><div><br>A couple of months ago I also needed a new TV/monitor for my bedroom. In the end I got a 22" Samsung LED TV, rather than a monitor. There were a couple of reasons for this in my case:<br>
- Integrated speakers (if you're going for a monitor, make sure it has speakers - many doesn't)<br>- VESA mounting interface (to mount and hide the MythTV frontend on the back of the screen - a Zotac ID41 - many monitors doesn't have a VESA mounting interface)<br>
- Possibility of configuring the vertical viewing angle. If you're watching the TV/monitor from a low angle, the picture will often be black in some areas. On the Samsung TV I got, it was possible to adjust the picture according to the vertical viewing angle.<br>
- Native 1920x1080 resolution instead of the common PC resolutions; 2560x1440, 1920x1200, 1680x1050, etc.<br>- Design (matter of taste, but within the group of TVs/monitors fulfilling the requirements above, the design of the white Samsung LED seemed way ahead of the monitors ;))<br>
