Television sets remind me of “decent” monitors. We’re not PC monitor connoisseurs but at least we have preferences when selecting a decent monitor to handle blue-ray, gaming, audio work, etc. Forget the majority of LCD TVs offering only a 60Hz refresh rate, even where some around 24-inches still suffer producing only up to 720P. With proper hardware of course, get into sick HD feeds w/ a 1080P HDMI monitor for less then $200. There are 2 pretty sweet deals, woot’s deal expires 10PM PST 8/19, and costco.com through 9/6.

Samsung was always kind to us, comfort factor wins this battle, my garage workstation would’ve came up if we had $! Window shopping bites.
