What 1080p TV/Monitors actually exist with 1080 resolution?
 

I'm interested in true 1080p TV's as I want to hook the TV up to an
entertainment PC and use it at 1080 * 1920 (I presume it's 1920?)
resolution, so I don't want interlaced, and I don't want something
that's not really 1080 resolution.

Does anything exist in this format with a real resolution of 1080 for
computer usage in addition to TV?

Thanks,

Roland.

Some/most(?) 21in CRT monitors claim to be able to do 2048x1536. Of the 2
I looked at (Viewsonic), they both appeared capable of 1920x1080p.Read the
specs and decide for yourself.

It depends on how you want to connect the "TV inputs" and how big you
want your display.

There are a mix of displays that either lean towards being a computer
display and have only VGA or DVI inputs while HDTVs have more "TV" inputs
(component, S-Video, etc.) but might not have VGA or DVI (or might not
support very high resolutions on these inputs).

Ones that provide both and can resolve the full 1920x1080 are either
fairly small (Dell and Apple 24" widescreens) or fairly expensive (most
43" and larger displays).

Westinghouse has a 37" 1080p LCD monitor that displays 1920 x 1080
resolution

35" or larger would be fine I think

At this point I'm not totally sure what the future holds and thus what
I'd want. Today I have a DVD player, VCR, and Satelite receiver all
going into a receiver and an old 27" TV. I don't watch TV at all (it's
for my wife) but we do watch lots of DVD's, and I also want to replace
one of the computers in the house with a 17" monitor, with something as
good in the living room - and when I say "as good" I mean, with at
least 1280*1024 resolution - so the 1080P sounds perfect.

At this point I imagine getting a 1080P TV that I would connect to an
entertainment PC with HD DVD reader, HD satalite signal PVR
capabilities etc - I'm in no rush, and Christmas 2006 timeframe might
be when I go for it, so I'm trying to understand what options there are
now, and on the horizon.

Anyway, it's definately a TV size/format I'm looking for as it's going
to be the only TV in the house, but it must be able to act as a fully
functional computer too.

I'd love to hear equipment suggestions, or things I should be concerned
about or looking out for.

Thanks,
Roland.

Sure they are. Hook a monitor to a tuner and watch Tv and it's a TV
monitor. Hook the same monitor to a computer and it's a computer monitor.
They're all just plain monitors unless they have a built in tuner, Then
they're TV's. Still not much difference.

1080p is available in Sharp's 45" LCD. Might be more then you want to
spend.

Very few TV monitors accept Computer inputs.

The number of exceptions is increasing, but in general computer monitors
and TV monitors are different.

All will accept computer inputs.

All? That covers a lot.

Unless you are talking about monitors with DVI or VGA inputs, basic TV
monitors have analog inputs (S-Video, Component Video, and/or Composite
Video). Most computers need a special graphics card or an adapter to
convert the signal to the basic analog format.

Only one of the dozen or so computer monitors I have owned will accept a TV
input (coming out of a VCR, cable box, or satellite box) out of the box. A
converter would be needed to convert S-Video or Composite to VGA. The one
monitor that did was an old Zenith CGA monitor that had a composite input
and an obsolete CGA input.

There is no exception. There is no difference in the monitor itself.

The monitors differ in the screen resolution, the phosphor or pixel size,
the vertical and horizontal frequencies. They are not all the same!

You
can use any Tv for a computer monitor and you can use any computer monitor
as a TV.

Using a TV for a computer monitor will limit you to VGA 640x480
resolutions, hardly what most people want to see.

it's that simple. Simply send the proper signal. Let's see, I've
used an old 1980 B&W Tv as a computer monitor, along with a host of color
tv's. Right now I watch TV on computer monitors in 2 rooms. Adapter have
been out since the 70's.

Adapters are necessary because computer monitors and TV monitors are not
the same thing!
